Suboxone Drug Test Oral Swab (Page 2) (Top voted first)

Updated

Hi everyone. Hopefully someone out there has some advice for me. I have been on subs since October 17th of '12 and I take it everyday HOW PRESCRIBED which is 1 and 1/2, total 12 mugs a day of the 8mg strips. I don't take at a set time or anything like that and sometimes don't take at all or at least the whole prescribed amount. Well long story short here; I take drug tests every month and sometimes twice a month for my sub doctor and have never had a problem with my results. I have also taken pre-employment screens and they are fine as well. All of these tests are urine. Well back in November I had an appt with a caseworker at JFS to review my sobriety and caseplan progress. I took a half strip before I went in and, if I remember correctly, that was all I had taken that day. Well she gave me a oral mouth swab test and had me stick it under my tongue to get an optimal amount of saliva on it. I made sure to inform her that I took suboxone orally and in the same place that I was putting this lovely cotton stick at. It was at least 30-40 mind since I took my half a strip. Now mind you I had to explain what suboxone even was to her but, she told me it didn't matter how or when I took it. She said it wouldn't affect mu results. I told her how many mgs a day I took as well. So just a few days ago she decided to let me know that this oral swab taken on November 19th just now failed for suboxone. She said it showed a HIGHER THEN THERAPEUTIC LEVEL. She also refused to give me a copy of it. I had to have my attorney file a motion of discovery to get a copy of it. Has anyone else ever experienced this or have LEGITIMATE information about how that's evn possible. Like I said I'm in this program for the right reason, I take my subs how prescribed and follow my doctors advice to the extreme. I'm serious about living a better life and being a better mother but I've always felt this woman has something against me....and that's not just me being paranoid, trust me. Anyway, ANY info would be great. I would love to.blow this hateful, volatile woman's theory out of the water and get her out of our lives for good. Thanks in advance guys, Ash :)

I'm on subutex film strips. I take them every morning. I take a drug test mouth swab randomly. Usually it's only a 9 panel that test for methadone but not bupe. Well today the test was a 12 panel and they DID test for bupe. However for some strange reason it was neg. How I do not know. I did smoke a cigarette and drank some water 10 min prior. If u have a swab test I heard mouth wash works but I never try to cheat the test because I'm on subs and they don't test for it usually. But I can say they are testing more and more for it. However, on a urine test I'm not sure. I hope all goes well with u. God bless.

I have to take a swab saliva test in 14 hours and I smoked marijuanna last night midnight, I am also on suboxone to fight my opiate addiction. I have been sober for over a year from opiates from taking the suboxone, I just do not have a prescription. Do they regulary test for suboxone and How long does Marijuana stay in saliva?

Marijuana stays in your system for thirty days usually. But everyone is different and it could be longer or shorter. If you don't smoke regularly then you may not be positive at all. It's happened to me before. But anyway oral swabs are faulty and the people administering them are too... usually. But they only test for suboxone when asked with those which is a toss up now. It used to be they had to specifically request a test, which in most cases is still true but my PO actually has an immediate test for a urine sample for subs now. It changes from month to month, we think we're slick, then they catch on. Who are you taking the test for? If you don't mind me asking! Try to eat some gum beforehand and don't take any subs at all until after so it's not picking any up, or like in my case more then you actually took. But if all else fails then deny everything with the fact that the oral swabs are USUALLY WRONG. This isn't just my uneducated opinion neither, ask any physician and they'll say the same. But if it doesn't come out the way you want try to deny, this may or may not work in your favor. They send the swabs off, they're not immediate, I think, they always sent mine off. And it could take a week for results to come back, buying you time to clean out. Or they could just give you a more accurate screen, like urine or hair, which probably wouldn't be in your favor.... Can you start a program at a suboxone center so you can legally take it? That way you won't have to risk it so much. And if all else fails try to be honest, if you trust the person which sometimes they're really not there to help. but if get caught coming true is better. Explain what suboxone is, it doesn't get you high, it's nothing like methadone, and it assists you in staying clean. Explain you're trying to do the right thing but it's hard to get in a suboxone program since theres a patient maximum and the price, without insurance, is outrageous. I paid nearly 700 a month for my appointment and prescription Respond back, let me know who's wanting the test and maybe I can search to see what they test for.

My PO dept tests for bupe, a new twelve panel urine they had. Never heard of a saliva testing for it without being sent to a lab....

Even if you were to fail for anything you could contest it, saliva tests are notorious in the medical community for being flawed.

I'd say you don't have anything to worry about!

I'm hoping so.. I'm pretty sure they only do a 5 panel test for me, but not positive. Fingers crossed. I took it today.

Do they send them off? Eveb then it's probably just basic anyway.

What state are you in btw? Let us know what happens, people are always asking about it. It was unheard being tested for, I couldn't believe my PO dept tested for it, but they catch on to everything eventually!

Crossing fingers for ya :)

Hey Anna, they knew I was on suboxone so they requested it be tested for that too. Just to be safe I wouldn't take any for 24 hours before your test, if they do test for it tge levels will be wacky.

They shouldn't even use oral swabs, their faulty for one, two they don't seem to know how to accurately read the lab results. Three, they're not doctors. Four, they will use anything, imaginary or real and misconstrued to ruin your life. Get out of that system as quick as possible.

@Bella, i hear that a lot of drug tests that are for employment do not test for suboxone. But even if they do it will not show up as opiates. It would come up as Bupheronine and because you are prescribed it you have nothing to worry about! So hope all goes well and goodluck!

I take swab tests all the time and when they test me the lady just hands me the unopened test, I open it, and place it in my mouth. When I'm done I place it into the container and she reads the results. When she is done she hands the test back to me and I throw it away. I live in new port richie florida. When my case worker comes here he does the same routine. I do these tests for children and family. I think they do it this way so they can not be blamed for tampering with the test. I personally love it because I'm in control. Another fyi, they test for bupe in the 12 panel. However, I took my strip at about 11am this morning. Tested at 4 and it was neg. I did drink water right before the test and smoked a cig. They ask that u don't drink or smoke 10 min prior to test. Idk if that's why the test came back neg on bupe but it did. When that happened I went online and ppl said that u can take mouthwash and it can make the test neg. I hope I've been helpful. Good luck
