Will I Pass A Drug Test While Taking Suboxone (Page 3) (Top voted first)

Updated

I am on a suboxone treatment program and currently interviewing for several new jobs. I will have to take a pre-employment drug test and I am wondering if I will fail for an opiate due to the suboxone. I do not want to tell my future employer that I am in treatment for a past drug dependency and I am worried that the suboxone will make that impossible.

Suboxone does not show up on a drug test. Just took my 5 panel pre employment drug test and all results are negative. I have been on suboxone for approximately 5 months and recently got a new job. I was nervous reading all the different comments on here thinking this great job will slip through my fingers just as I'm putting my life back together and I was emailed a copy of my drug test and background test and everything was negative. If you are on suboxone and only suboxone you have nothing what do ever to worry about. The information I gathered from other sites is the ingredients in suboxone had to be specifically tested for and I know for a fact it does not come up on a 5 panel drug test. I take 16mg of suboxone a day.

I think it honestly depends on the test. I just took a 12 panel at home test and am on 8 mg suboxone per day and it did show up as OXYCODONE. I haven't taken one of those in over 5yrs so it has to be the sub.

nothinbutthetruth - s*** i just read your whole post and i'm so sorry! this is why our legal system is so totally f***ed! you're tryin to do the right thing & stay off drugs while you're in immense pain and instead of praising you for doing the right thing you're forced to completely detox off of meds that usually take like years to get off of in 3 1/2 days! thats insane! i just seriously can't get it through my mind that these can possible see it as a BAD thing that you're on suboxone! its not like you can get high off this s*** or something. now methadone ya know you can get high off of so i could see some hesitation there, but even then, still, its WAYYY better than being on actual opiates. so sad. seriously GOOD LUCK with everything, cause that sounds like a living hell. but hopefully it can only get better from there!

If you read a few posts here you will quickly realize that asking here won't help you. Some say yes, some say no. My test didn't show positive but others say theirs did.

I tool a 30 panel drug screen for my job and it did not show up. They have to do a different test alone to find suboxon.

They cannot tell you what day of the month you have taken drugs...or they amount that is foolish. If THC is in your system...it can be very minimal....you might not have used any for approx. 4 weeks or less....and the day you take it show up...the same as if you smoked it before you went in for the test. The amount cannot be told nor the day that's very untrue.

I have been taking a very low dose of suboxone and took gave me a drug test and it said I had failed for opiates. How is this possible? I also had no clue they even were drug testing me. I did a urin sample because I thought i hadva uti infection. Can they do that without telling me? I need someone to help me understand what to do. Then I get a crazy huge bill for the test and I'm just so confused. Please help.

Ya I know....that's become very apparent. It obviously depends on the company and the type of job. Maybe I can find out what lab the company uses and give them a call for what specific drugs they test for.....as long as they don't test directly for BUPE, I'll know I'm in the clear.

most places do not test for suboxone or subutex it is a separate drug screen and unless they expect it or not going to look for it

I take 2mgs suboxone a day under my tongue. I also smoke weed frequently... I have to take a pre employment drug screen for a hospital in "a couple weeks" assuming I got the job which things look good fingers crossed! But I'm beside myself about the drug screen. Even considering getting someone elses pee... what can I do in the next 2 weeks or less to come up negative for both THC and BUSH?
Finally something goes right n I know this drug screen is gonna ruin it for me... more accurately I'm going to ruin the drug screen.
