Suboxone And Pre Employment Drug Screen (Page 4) (Top voted first)

I am prescribed suboxone for an opiate addiction maintenance program. First, will it show up in a ten panel test? Second, can an employer discriminate if they have already offered me the job? Third, is this violating any privacy laws?

So, I'm a "recovering" heroine addict (I say "recovering", because you're never a recovered addict) of 5 years. Started when I was 18, I'm not 25 and 2 years off the crap. I quit cold turkey, but had a scare and scrambled to find some subs. I tried a suboxone doctor before, when I was about 20, but the guy made me cry when I was at an extremely vulnerable state.

Anyways, so I've been back on subs for about a year now. I take about 1mg a day. I drink a looooot of water, and nothing else. I've been judged, and ridiculed for being on suboxone. But it beats having a bad day and having a weak moment.

So now I've come across this job. It's 10 an hour, versus 7.50 an hour (I live in Alabama, where everyone is in poverty). Come to find out, they give a pre-employment drug test. Woo. I start before then, due to their lack of workers... and I'd probably be fine simply coming off of it, if it wasn't for my chronic pain due to a severe (and chronic) stomach infection I aquire several years ago... on top of being a paranoid schizophrenic. For me, suboxone is a mood stabilizer as well as a pain reducer. I'm still debating on whether or not I'll stop taking it for the test, or risk it. From what I've seen, bup only shows up on a 14 panel test. Neither the 10 nor 12 panel appear to test for it. I guess we will just have to see. I will let everyone know if I can't handle the pain and have to take it, and what my results are.
Everyone light a candle for me. Or pray, whatever.

Also, I really hate all the judgemental asshats on these types of websites. Maaaaan, some people just love to talk.

Only the 14 panel tests, as far as I can tell. Bup does not show up on any of the lists of drugs tested for on 12 panel or lower. However, there have been reports of being false positives, showing up at oxycontin. But I think that is few and far between.
I went and took my pre-employment drug screening yesterday morning. It was unexpected, so I didn't have time to (or decide to) stop taking my subs. My employer told me to go take the test, and then come back to work my first shift on Monday at 8:30. I still have not heard anything back, so no news is good news at this rate.
I don't understand why employers would test for Suboxone. Unless, of course, the employee gives a reason to be tested (drifting/dosing off, being clumsy repetitively, etc)... but for pre-employment I would not see a reason for it.

But to answer your question; no, a 12 panel drug test should not test for Bup/sub.

My sis in law went thru the same thing. She wasn't prescribed suboxone. They drug tested her after giving birth & children services stepped in & she had to wait a week to bring her son home & they did home visits until it was out of her system. When people tell you that they dont test for it bulls***, yes they do & csb will take your child. Hope this helps. Good luck

Have you taken a 10 panel test? I'm down to 2 MG a day so I stopped going to Dr. I have a test coming and can get clean pee but hate the added stress.

Someone close, not me, takes Suboxone for many years now. 10? Terrified to come off of it. Attended and finished a 4 year degree in sciences, then went to RN school. She claims she cannot find a job as a nurse in a medium size city 2 multiple hospitals and numerous specialty clinics. I THINK it's fear of actually getting detected as a Suboxone patient with a pre-employment drug screen. She goes after low paying jobs with desperate employers needing help that she believes do not drug test. One however, sent her to Quest for a screen. A swab inside her cheek. Been over a week for results. Anyone know what's tested with that? We are all at out wits end over the financial tragedy of an educated person who, for some reason, can't get a job to make ends meet. Thank You people.

depends on the job. Any employer reserves the right to choose who works for them. They can give you a plethora of reasons as to why they "can't" hire you after the test if they "choose" not to hire you.
