Suboxone And Urine Test

I know Suboxone does not show up in a standard test. But the job I am applying for may do an extended test. I have a prescription from my Doc and I am on 16mg a day which by the way is wonderful. But I was wondering if anyone knows how long till my urine's clean?

REPORT

Suboxone's half life is between 24 to 37 hours depending on your metabolism in other words the amount of buprenorphine will decrese by half after that time elapses 8 to 4, 4 to 2 and so on...

if you have a legit prescription for the stuff, it doesn't matter if you test positive for it. you are legally allowed to be taking that substance. if you have a prescription for morphine you can't get fired for testing positive for opiates.

The above poster is correct, if you are legally taking it as prescribed by your doctor, then you need to make them aware of it when you go in for your test.

In some instances, it will negate the entire test, depending on which type they are using.

Some places will just do the test anyway, then if they get a positive result, they will call you to ask what you are taking and they will ask for your doctor's information to confirm it.

I was tested twice a week in my out patient rehab program for three months. I have never had suboxone show up on any of the tests. Nor were their any false positives. However I dont know if suboxone shows up in a hair test. If your doctor did give you a perscription then bring either a doctors note or your pharmacy reciept to the test just to be safe, so they dont make any assumptions. If you dont have either, then it will be out of your system in 24 hours.

Unless you are applying for a job that requires you to fly a plane, taking thid drug, with a legitimate prescription would be reported to your employer as a negative screen. I use to do physicals, drug screens for a state, as well as fir interstate CDL drivers. If your screen comes back positive, you will get a call from the physician, at the lab where your test was done. You will be asked to provide the name of the medications you are taking, annd then asked to provide the name of the prescribing physician, his contact info. and where the script was filled. You may also have to fax all of this info along with a copy of the lable on the prescription bottle, to the lab. Once they verify that you are taking the drug legally, your screen will be reported to your employer as negative. If you are a professional CDL driver, it isyour responsability to evaluate the drug's effect on you, as each person responds differently. If you feel like the drug is impairing your ability to drive, it is your responsability not to get behind the wheel. This is no different than the decision to drive or not to drive, after consuming alcohol. What employers who are drug testing are looking for are people using illegal drugs, or legal, controlled substances, without a ligitimate prescription from a licensed physician. Hope this relieves some of your pre-drug test anxiety.

My husband has a prescription for Suboxone 8 mg. strips filled July 2011 and since he has been trying to ween himself off, he cuts the 8 mg. piece into 16 pieces. This would give him enough medicine for two years with the amount he was prescribed. He just started a new job at a coal company that is trying to fire him for being on Suboxone saying that he couldn't take it, even though the prescription is good for one year.

DO NOT LISTEN TO it is like any other pill and will be clean in a few days. The halflife of suboxone is around 40 hours and oxycodone is only at 4.5 hours. Also it stores in your fat like THC. I wish I could tell you an approximate time that you would pee clean but I am trying to find that out myself. Everyone is different but you can get an idea if you do the math. You would have to know what the tests max nano count would be though and be real good in math which I am not. Even then it would only put you in the ballpark. You would have to know your body fat percent and how many calories you burn, how long and how much you have taken it and all kinds of stuff that I don't understand. The 7 panel tests will not detect it, but most places are starting to use the 12 panel test which WILL test for suboxone. My guess is that it would take about a month to get out. My advice would be to go pay alot of money to a place like labcorp and have your own urine test done. If positive then get a legal scrip if you don't already have one. I showed up positive for Oxy and though I had a scrip and the positive turned into a negative, I was still reported to my surpervisor and had to go to the doctor that my workplace has and prove I was fit for duty.

I am in a very strict legal program called drug court and the urine tests we have to take are pretty frequently. The tests are random and I have to go pee in a cup on average twice a week. If you fail a drug test they put you straight in jail when you go to court that week. I had a test today, and afterwards I had a weak moment and used 8mg of suboxone.It really sux cause I have really been working hard to stay clean and Im really upset cause I have been clean for almost 3 months and have had all clean drug screens. Is it possible for me to get the suboxone out of my system in 3 to 4 days??? If so, what would be the best thing for me to do to help rush it out of my system? I would be extremely greatful for any advice anyone has!!! thank you

Re: Alesha (# 85)

Suboxone can stay in your system 11 to 14 days if not longer. If you're lucky maybe it would be out in 7 days. But that crap stays in there a while. Unbelievable.

How long does 1mg of Suboxone stay in your system for a urine test?

I would say why it wasn't in your urine is because you were definitely not taking it.

I don't mean to call you out but it is what it is. I've never had a drug test fail me yet. The old saying the proof is in the pudding, well the proof is in the urine obviously kiddo you didn't take that medication, most likely you sold it or just didn't take it. Sorry, like I said it just is what it is. Or maybe we just need more details??

Hello....

They usually don't watch ???? you go to the restroom and pee. The only reason they would watch let's just say if you were on probation or something like that then definitely they will watch. But if it's just a private pain clinic no they don't usually watch. They never watched me. Hope this helps.

I'm just curious if you take 8 mgs of Suboxone for at least 3 days will it be out of your system in 19 days? Please someone help out a Granny Thank you. Sometimes it's totally ridiculous that we have to do what we have to do just to get by nowadays.

Oh boy....Suboxone is a tricky drug that's for sure. I tested hot for Suboxone 9 days later. So it all depends on your body and how fast you metabolize any and every medication. So when you do a search on Google. Google says it should be out in 3 days. That's a bulls*** lie. It takes way longer. Good luck because I screwed myself. I used to fly under the radar now I'm above the middle of the radar meaning they're so watching me now. LOL We all make mistakes in life. I was only just trying to get by. Was it the wrong way to get by? Yes it was and I'm paying dearly now. Good luck all.

Hello.

I have the strangest question for someone that would be so kind to answer this. I have never taken Suboxone in my life. My son, he does take Suboxone strips. I pick up his wrappers all the time. I picked them up as I'm yelling at him because if his daughter would get ahold of those it could possibly kill her or make her extremely sick. That is why I'm always picking them up. He doesn't leave them laying around any longer after my bizarre urine test. I've actually found a few little tiny strips laying around on the table so I picked those up as well. What I'm asking is if there's any way that could have gotten into my system by handling several foils and a few tiny strips that was laying around? Because I had taken a urine test and I came up with a very low low number of the drug from the Suboxone. My pain doctor said it was actually barely there so could this have happened by me handling the strips and a lot of foils? Because I promise you I have never ever consumed that medication. Thank you so much. I'm just baffled. My pain doctor said she was going to give me a warning. Then she said she was taking back the warning because she so believed me. But at the end of the day I just feel she's thinking in the back of her mind differently. Sorry for the book I just need a little help to figure this out. I did speak with my pharmacist and he told me that it was so possible for that to happen to me so I'm just trying to clear my name that's all. Or my urine. LOL.

Why doesn't suboxone show up on my urine drug test when I'm taking it every day? My test came back as nothing in my system.

So I looked through these posts for the last few days having a freaking heart attack trying to decide if it had been long enough. Google seems to think it's out in less than a week and I gotta call BS on that for most people. Even a week later no way I'm giving urine to any agency or court authority. Lol. But seriously internet, you suck when it comes to answering this question. No one gives details, no one gives updates.. for goodness sake. So here has been my experience. I took Suboxone regularly at least 8mg a day for 18 months. I am about 130 lbs, female, 33. I stopped taking it Jan 7, 2017 took a test at the hospital, failed. Took the next test Jan 19, 2017 and it came back negative. I know they test me for Bup, however the second test was a dipstick so it could have had a higher threshold than the hospital.
Since then I have been tested weekly, totally clean, no cheating. Fast forward to April 2018. I took what was supposed to be my last drug test and like the ***** I am did 4 8mg subutex from April 11-14. The next Monday comes and apparently there was a mix up with my paperwork and guess who gets to drop another month. This girl. I have been tripping. I got called in to drop 4/23, decided I wasn't risking it, put it off until the 24th, and took vitamins and drank lots of water. I took my test, and somehow I passed.
Good luck.
