You'll be fine as long as all you took was Suboxone. It WILL NOT show up on a standard urine panel because it has to be tested for specifically and it's highly unlikely they do test for it. I've been on probation for 4 years and on Sub for 2. I have a urine test 1-2 times/week and have NEVER tested positive. Don't sweat it. ~G

Just for reference. I am a nurse and have a lot of experience with these meds as my brother is an addict. Suboxone is not an opiate. It is a synthetic drug created to attach to your opioid receptors in the brain. It works very well by tricking the brain into thinking that it has opiates in it. Subutex is simply the active ingredient in suboxone without the added naloxone which is a drug used to counteract opiates. Suboxone should not be showing up in a random 7,9 or 10 panel urine drug screen. There are however some expensive 11 and 13 panel drug screens commonly used by methadone and suboxone clinics that also test for suboxone and methadone. Most pre-employment drug screens are only looking for the usual street drugs such as cocaine, THC, barbiturates, amphetamines, opiates, and sometimes benzodiazepines. There is no way to know which drug screen someone will use unless they specify which panel ahead of time. If they say that it will be a 5,7 or 9 panel, you will most likely be safe as they are not looking for suboxone or methadone. Remember that employers usually pay for these drug screens themselves and they aren't going to spend the outrageous amount of money that the 11 and 13 panel screens cost. If you do test positive for suboxone or methadone I recommend telling the truth. If you are a recovering addict that means that you aren't a druggy anymore and that counts for a lot! Have faith in God who brought you to this new place in life and gave you this second or hundredth chance and who will not abandon you now! I am personally a big believer in suboxone and the good that it can do for lots of people but remember that it is only a tool to help get you better and not a cure. Make sure you work on the underlying issues that caused your addiction to begin with. I pray for all of you and am so glad that you have a new chance at life! God Bless!

Suboxone is an opiate AGONIST, IT DOES NOT SHOW UP ON STANDARD OPIATE URINE TEST! IN ORDER FOR SUBOXONE TO SHOW UP, YOU WOULD HAVE TO TEST FOR IT SPECIFICALLY. PLEASE PEOPLE STOP PUTTING OUT INCORRECT INFORMATION. I AM AN RN WHO WAS ADDICTED TO OPIATES.I used suboxone to detox. I now work with an addictionologist

suboxone does not show up in urine test as a narcotic. it does not. don't worry about just take the test.

If you smoke pot,do heroin take a narcotic drug,of course it will show up,thats the whole idea for taking suboxone,
suboxone is a great drug,has turned many lives around,
it depends what the urine panel is looking for,which is usually a 10 panel urine test,good luck!

They also have a pill that takes away the cravings for alcohol and I don,t mean antibuse. I know because I was on it a long time ago. Don,t remember the name of it.

I have NEVER tested POSITIVE for opiates in almost the last year from taking suboxone. The below post is incorrect. Suboxone IS a synthetic opiate but it metabolizes quite differently. It does not show up as an opiate, it shows up as exactly what it is-- BUPE!

I know this from personal EXPERIENCE, from my doctors and where my lab results come from. Unless they test for bupe you won't have any reading on your test, for opiates or otherwise!

In fact the only way you would test positive for opiate from suboxone would be if you put suboxone, film or tablet, directly in your urine. Then it obviously hasn't metabolized and will show as an opiate!


Facts people, NOT OPINION.

Verwon, you are not correct. I commented on this I thought but guess it didn't post.

Suboxone is BUPE. It is a SYNTHETIC OPIATE AND METABOLIZES DIFFERENTLY THAN AN ACTUAL OPIATE.

In fact the only way you would test positive for opiates is if you were trying to slick through your urine test and putting sub pieces DIRECTLY IN YOUR URINE.

In fact unless you are specifically tested for bupe then you don't have ANYTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.

Verwon, I know this from personal experience, my doctor verified this and from the company that issues my lab results.

These my amigos, are facts, not my opinion!

Never heard if sub causing a false THC positive but there's other OTC and etc that can cause it. I'd demand a more in-depth test. If it's a standard saliva or urine analysis they are not 100% reliable and the people administering them usually are only minimally trained. I would offer yourself for a more accurate screen and don't admit your guilt if your not. FYI as well, my probation/local court now has bupe testing incorporated in the testing panel so if you're not prescribed, play it safe.

I don;t know what to do I have to take a urine test for the Courts Friday about 5pm. The last time I took Suboxone was at 6:30 7:00 last night Wednesday. Don't know if I am better off just saying I was taking the Vicodin for Migraines which was the case or admiting to the dependency, just don't want any reason for them to keep testing me or cause anymore issues.

Don't need to worry about the drug test, it will be negative unless the specimen is specifically tested for suboxone which it won't be. Buprenorphine is a semi synthetic narcotic and, while an opiate, does not turn up positive on a standard panel. It's also the first miracle drug in the addictions field in twenty years. Too bad alcohol, speed and cocaine don't have correlate medications.

I know there are several different medications which can cause certain people to test positive for THC in urine drug screens, but I was talking to my ASAP class about this and a couple people said over the counter Alieve caused them to have a false positives for THC when they we're drug tested for probation.
