NOT ALL 12 panel Drug Tests test for suboxone or BUP ( Buprenorphine). I noticed you said it was probation/court ordered= Government. They will definitely test for everything in that 12 panel test. But people not on probation/ court whatever, who go to a private physician to get rx'd Suboxone, may or may not get tested for BUP. For example myself, my physician gives a 12 panel test every month I go in, and it DOES not test for Buprenorphine, but does test for methadone. Im not trying to start anything at all, just saying, that all 12 panel tests don't test for it, and this is several different 12 panel tests ive taken for my doc, another doc and a lab test for job. The labs wont test for it unless doctor or whoever specifically asks for it. and its not on a lot of 12 panel tests due to the cost. For some reason its super expensive to test for it. But I don't doubt at all the court system/government test for absolutely everything possible. Since they are the ones who supply legal methadone to addicts like myself, who have rode that train to hell and finally got off. anyways that's all. they do make special 12 panels for testing for bup, google it. Depends on your situation and doc basically

NO suboxone will definitely not show up on a six panel test, unless it's a specialized test made for suboxone or subutex. I don't know what kind of test or tests you have to take (court ordered, probation, Govn't employer, or regular employer, pain mgmt, methadone clinic, sub doc, or whatever the hell else they give test for these days. You can google suboxone urine tests and find out what all kind of tests they make and what they look like. BUT GENERALLY on a urine test whether 6 or 12 panel, depending on what and who your taking it for, should not test for buprenorphine. Like I stated before, those tests are so expensive ,most places will not buy disposable urine cup tests, that test for buprenorphine. If you have a 12 or 6 panel test and have the luxury to be able to read the top and the abbreviations on what they test for like mdma, bzo (benzos), THC (marijuana etc), barb (barbiturates) etc, then you will know for sure what they test for. If you see BUP- then that means they test for buprenorphine I. E. Subutex, suboxone. But if you DONT see the BUP abbreviation on there and they don't send it to the lab then they don't test for it. It just depends on what it's for. Do not hold me to this <----but I've had many false positives over the three years on sub. Some off the wall ones. Tested + for stuff I haven't been around or let alone seen in years last month, and my doc told me he wasn't even going to send it to the lab because I've had so many tests wrong. In his words the 12 panel tests he uses ,work 75% of the time. Which is a s***ty ratio. Since I have to pay another doc visit fee the next week, which you all know isn't cheap. But luckily the lab will show correct and they call my script in and I don't have to pay another visit. Sorry I digress. Who are you taking the test for? And to short answer your question, you can test false positive for everything and the cause is in foods, OTC meds , vitamins , everything.

Concerned addict- I sent a reply. I hope it went through. Also forgot to mention details of my past two months false positives. The month before last I took a 12 panel for my sub doc, and he knows I have a history of testing false positive for stuff that's crazy. So month before last I got put on a new brand of adderall. It was teva/Barr brand , which about 6 months back when I first got tevas , tested for methamphetamine instead of amphetamine. Sent to lab. The MS/GS lab test cleared it up. Then went 5 months without a hiccup, then the month before last my pharmacy had two different brands of adderall and asked me if I cared if They mixed both brands to be able to fill the whole script. Which I agreed. Half was Teva/Barr ,and the other was Sandoz/Eon labs, which furthered my opinion that diff. generics, of diff drugs, IMO are much stronger and longer acting and some are more mild with short duration. The same with my Klonopin. Anyways back to the subject, I took the teva first, then took the Sandoz which were For SURE wayyyy stronger than teva. And it's not in your head. Although docs and pharmacists will tell you that. Anyways, I took the Sandoz and went and took sub test and , + for methamphetamine. My doctor just shook his head and said I've got to send this to the lab before I can write a whole months rx. Like we had done many times before. I could tell he was getting frustrated with the tests and not me. But he sent it. I called a week later and asked about results. The best receptionist in the world, love her to death said yup it was negative at the lab. And I was fixing to call you in the next hour to let you know. Like she always does. I just called first this time. So immediately she called rest of months rx in and I didn't have to pay another 200$ for visit that takes less than 10 min. Sorry about the in depth but I'm getting to the point. This past month. Got the Sandoz adderall again. My psych and sub doc appts are always half a month apart. So went to pee for my subs and whatttya know? Not only did I test positive for methamphetamine, but also methadone, WTF???? And barely under the line of THC. My doc said, " look, have you smoked or taken any methadone since last visit ? " While laughing , I'll add. I laughed back and said ," not at all, haven't smoked in three years, def haven't done meth, although this Sandoz is quite strong lol, and didn't feel the need for my methadone since the sub was doing it's job!!" He laughed back saying I'm not gonna waste mine and yours and the labs time by sending this one off. Because I know it's just false positives. I mean, it came up + for all that , and not the two drugs I actually take. Adderall and klonopin. I just so happen to look it up and what CAN make what test false+. The adderall is part methamphetamine so I knew that one. But turns out the night before I tested, I had a cold and took a couple Benadryl. Any antihistamine CAN make you test false positive for methadone and THC. Point being, as stated in the beginning, foods, OTC meds, rx meds, herbs , vitamins, etc. Can make you test + for all kinds of things. And the only way to prove your innocence , if you are absolutely innocent, is a lab that uses MS/GS. But even labs make mistakes. Were all human. Drug testing is not accurate at all, especially urine tests. Which is horrible if your freedom or something depends on them , to be accurate. You'd think they could make testing 100% accurate if they can remotely fly a drone 1000s of miles across oceans and bomb a small cave or village in the middle of the afghani mtns or wherever. Just sayin! Hope some of this helps someone. Good luck to everyone with urine tests or tests in general. Especially if it concerns your freedom. Or getting the meds you need.

Hey Joe,
From Willoughby too. Hubby on probation in Lake County. If Mentor tests for it, we're thinking Lake Co definitely does! If you heard anything about them, let me know!
Thanks! Jenn

How long does suboxone stay in your system

Hi Jenn, I've been having issues attempting to advise people that YES, A LOT of probation depts do test for suboxone! And while I agree with most that Masonry below is saying, he/she is undoubtedly wrong when advising people that suboxone is an expensive and completely different test than the standard. Bupe is included on the immediate test urine results, this can differ jurisdiction to jurisdiction/county etc. I have seen jurisdictions in Cuyahoga cty test while the jurisdiction next door does not. I believe this is a formality that will end up with standardized suboxone testing in all judicial departments by the end of 2015.

Thanks so much for the response! I do have new info as far as Lake County, Ohio, felony probation:
As of right now, NO this department does not. While I'm sure they're probably late to the party it is not currently on their standard weekly urine tests. However, if they decide to send the urine to the lab, they will find it. Example, if your urine is diluted & they have suspicions, they will send it out. But for now standard Monday test does not.
Thanks again! Much appreciated Ash!

at a pain management doctors office will the drug test urine screen have to be sent off to find suboxone? If suboxone is not prescribed here.

They don't test for nalaxone. The bupenorphine is the blocker/synthetic opioid in subutext (white) and suboxone. Bupenorphine binds to the pain receptors of the brain making it near impossible to be taken place by more euphoric opiates. Only the strongest of opiates can take the place such as phentnyl or delodid. It is called the opiate or pain pill's BINDING AFFINITY. Naloxone is pretty much useless unless your ODING on heroin and you want to flush off your receptors so your liver can filter it out of your body...(it's what they use when U OD to bring ya back and keep you there) there's some educational s*** on your drugs u use out there. Try it. Learn it. Be informed.

Ash is right, Including Jenn. They both have right answers. It does depend on who the test is for and why your taking it. While Ash is right, saying I was "Undoubtedly wrong" about Suboxone being expensive, that is now true as of 2015. Since Subutex, Suboxone, etc. made its debut in early 2000's, all the way up to 2013 and most of 2014, It was Outrageously expensive to get suboxone(buprenorphine/naloxone), or Subutex(buprenorphine) tests. The doctors, the Government (probation, court ordered, child custody, Methadone programs, etc.), pain mgmt., whatever your tested for and by whom, had to pay a great deal of money to acquire special tests for buprenorphine. Now, as of 2015, as JENN stated, it just depends on where you live In the US and whether or not that jurisdiction, independent and private doctors , whatever, Is willing to pay for 12 panel tests that DO test for (BUP)(BUPE)< if your able to look at your test, and you see those three or sometimes four letters on the lid or side/ wherever then you will know if your being tested for Buprenorphine(Suboxone, Subutex, etc.) I get tested by two different doctors every month and have had a "Professional Testing Center" , which was far from professional, test me within the past 2 months. FYI: I'M IN EAST TN--********-( MAINLY):-*-*-*-*-*-*-* For those of you concerned about Sub(BUP/E) showing up on a urine test, that they read right then, and do NOT send it off to a lab,,, depending on where you are, and what/who its for......

ITS A PASS OR FAIL SITUATION (50/50%)-*-*-*-*-*-*-* For those of you who are concerned about SUB showing up on a test that's sent to a LAB, YOU WILL FAIL. They will find anything and everything in your system. Since Suboxone lost its 7-year patent hold, which was in 2012-maybe 2013, the prices have dropped on Brand Suboxone-- urine screening tests, and NOW A LOT of 12 panels Test for Buprenorphine, due to the fact other companies are swooping in with cheaper generics, so RECKITT has to keep up with newer, cheaper, competition, mainly Zubsolv (buprenorphine/naloxone) by Orexo labs, which I will be trying next month. Check It out if your on sub with no insurance as am I, which is NOT CHEAP!! Weird doses, but same drug, with I hear, a menthol taste instead of horrible orange 8mg, and lemon/lime 2mg strips. One doctor I go to has a 12 panel that does test for it, which is my Sub doc, go figure. My other doctor, Psychiatrist also has a 12 panel which does NOT test for Buprenorphine. The "professional test" for employment, also 12 panel, did NOT test for Buprenorphine. Doctors and patients used to have this thing called doc/patient confidentiality, which sub was created and let on the market for. So you could go confidentially to a private physician and be able to be prescribed subutex or suboxone PRIVATELY, subutex was mainly used for rehabs, but some doctors still rx it. A LOT of dr's , including mine, will not rx subutex. Suboxone is now the main rx of choice for dr's b/c, ( Buprenorphine is a partial agonist at the mu opioid receptor and an antagonist at the kappa receptor. It has very high affinity and low intrinsic activity at the mu receptor and will displace morphine, methadone, and other opioid full agonists from the receptor.

While naloxone a Full on Antagonists also bind to opioid receptors, but instead of activating receptors, they effectively block them. Antagonists do not activate receptors, and they prevent receptors from being activated by agonist compounds. An antagonist is like a key that fits in a lock but does not open it and prevents another key from being inserted to open the lock All this stuff was a days worth for about 6-9 months , blurry so don't know the time frame. As you may know , you can take methadone with other opiates or opioids and achieve more euphoria, the same goes with Subutex. But if you are addicted to full agonists like the ones listed above, and take SUBOXONE without letting withdrawal of the other opiates/oids set in, after about ten to fifteen minutes, You will go straight to hellish WD. This happened to me when trying to switch ove from methadone to suboxone. I didn't give myself enough time. I took 4 mg or half a strip 3 days after stopping methadone bc I felt like I was in wd. I had no idea what was about to happen. Pretty much , it was like someone hit the wd switch , body went flush, I couldn't stand up, hot/cold at the same time, pains, cramps, RLS, insomnia, leg pain like never before, etc....... so don't do that lol. Therefore the drug was created to not show up on urine screens, and labs couldn't test for it unless asked directly by physician. Now, of course, with our lovely president and the attack on our American rights and Amendments; basically all of them, Confidentiality has been thrown out the window. Now labs can test for everything without permission needed. Suboxone is no longer confidential. I don't know if this info will help anybody, but Im just trying to help. I have been an addict since 13, ASH- I am a male. 27 now. 14 years of researching anything and everything I put in my body. "DRUGS". Combinations, what not to take together and what I could take together, anything to do with any drug.

This is my second time around with suboxone. First was 18 months long, quit it, stayed clean for about 6 more months, then took 1 hydro and it snowballed like a MotherF***** ,AGAIN, from there, used hardcore for 5-6 months. Decided to try methadone. That S*** is a TRAINRECK waiting to happen. If it works for you, im happy for you and good luck, and I mean that. I was on that for 2 months and got up to 140 mgs, decided to quit it bc it made me so out of it, I thought I was fine, but apparently everyone around me knew I was 'gone', even though I was trying to get clean. Anyways this post is long enough, but stopping methadone and transitioning to sub after only 2 months was the worst experience of my life. Worse than withdrawing from 2 - 100 mcg fentanyl patches a day+200 mg morphine banged+ OC and roxy how many ever I could get ahold of + anything else I could get, Xanax, klon, etc. All this stuff was a days worth for about 6-9 months , blurry so don't know the time frame.. You name it I did it. This is not to brag what so ever, this is to let people know I am not a rookie user typing BS to all of you people who want to get clean. I know a lot from all the research ive done, I AM NOT A DR. and never claimed to be, im a fellow addict who wants to help. That's why I joined this thread.

As of now I have been clean for almost two years now. excluding my legit psych scripts and sub I HAVE to take now because of years of abuse and damage to my brain and its receptors. They are so F'ed up now I have horrible social anxiety, GAD, ADD, probably bipolar. who knows. Don't hold me to correct dates on everything, I don't claim to know everything, Just here to help if I can. In conclusion, im sorry this is so long, ******(BUT: ASH, JENN, and Lee THE GREAT are all right. Things have changed.******* . Rehab 3 times, OD 4 times. A lot of people on here and out there have more experience than me, no doubt, and again Im not here to sound smart or brag. I'm also not a rookie in this game of life and death. Yes, the thread is about drug tests and SUB, I apologize for digressing, Im not gonna say, "the best thing to do is just quit, and then you wont have to worry about drug tests." Yeah right, I wish it were that easy and people seem to think it is, but real addicts know and want to tell those people to F- OFF. Once an addict , always an addict. Be safe and follow leeTHEGREAT's advice, read your med info, Research stuff and be knowledgeable about things you take. MODERATION IS KEY< AND COULD SAVE YOUR LIFE. I owe my brother mine.

Ringo- Not sure about probation. never had supervised. Plus, it all depends on your state, city, town, county, jurisdiction, and whether they are cheap or not. I'd say now, with it being 2015, pretty much all government tests will start testing for everything. Hell, they might add a Spinal Tap to test for Acid and Shrooms LMAO
