Will I Pass A Drug Test While Taking Suboxone (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.

I am a Dr. and subutex/suboxone will NOT show up as an opiate. It has to be tested with a special test, just for that specific derivative.

Everyone thinks suboxone shows up as an opiate it actually don't show up at all when they test for suboxone theres a specific test that tests for that drug,I ran into the same problem w/my current job told them I was on it an it didn't even show up so dont listen to anyone that tells u that it does b/c it dont they only call it an opiate b/c they needed a category to put the drug under when it actually really isnt an opiate an thats why it doesnt show up i posted a blog about it its kindve complicated but your dr can explain it better just ask him he'll tell ya

THIS IS HOW I CLEANED UP ON SUBOXONE IN 3 1/2 DAYS.
Fact: I am on parole and subject to monthly random drug test. I know the day and time when I have to report. I control my usage around my report days. I also have legitamet disc problem in my lower back. It hurts like hell and sends shooting pains down my right ass cheek and into my right leg. As conditions of my parole I have to attend an IOP group 3x's a week for 6 months. Part of the IOP RULES AND REG's are you cannot be on any narcotics even tho prescribed from a license Physician. And it's either do these groups or go back to PRISON, and PRISON is NOT an option!!! So to control the pain and not over do my usage I take 2 8mg suboxone strips a week for 2 weeks and 5days. I simply cut them into smaller pieces as I feel necassery for each individual day. For the past 13 yrs since my car accident I have had 1 back spine surgery and see a specialist once every other month and am subscribed methadone 10mg 4 's a day. But since my "being at the wrong place on the wrong day" and went to prison then paroleing out 6 months later but having to attend this narcotic free IOP group I can't take my medication til I complete my 56 sessions or if I do, go back to prison and like I said PRISON is NOT an option!! So I self medicate. TRAGITY STRIKES: I get a call from my PO on a Thursday. She explained " I need to see you @ 8am Monday morning. I am planning my vacation and it's gonna fall on ur report week and I need to see you this calander month." I think immediately F**K ME!!!!! Thats 2 weeks EARLY!!! Everything I read is telling me 7 days to detox from suboxone.. I always give myself a lil more than 7 days just to be safe, cause prison is not an option!! I have basically 3 1/2 days to be clean.. I am a 6'3" 191 pd male. I immediately begin a poor man rapid detox on myself with water on friday and Saturday. I DID NOT OVER-DUE IT, because water poison is a real possability. I simply kept my-self hydrated and urinated about 2x's an hour from eye open to eye shut and a cpl x's thru the night.On Sunday I went to Wal-mart and got 2quarts of cranberry juice and 1 32 oz jug of Gatorade and 1 box of sure-gel. I consumed 1 1/2 quarts of of the cranberry juice on the sunday. Monday morning I got up at 5am and consumed the other half quart of cranberry juice. @ 6:30am I mixed the sure-jell into the gatoraid and shook it up and drank the 32oz jug with in 2 min. I urinated 3xs in the next hr and at 7:30 I took 2 energy men's health 1 a day vitamins to put color back into my urine. ALL THIS ON AN EMPTY STOMACHE..I took a 16oz bottle of water and consumed it on my way to the po's office. Im sweating bullets and getting more nervous by the mile the closer I get to the office. I get there and check in and sure enough I'm told to go to the drop room. DAMN!!! IM HIT LIKE CAT S***, I'm telling myself as I walk.. I'm handed the cup & the officer walks in with me. I start my stream into the toilet and piss mid-stream into the cup. They test it &'IM CLEAN!!! WOW.. So I KNOW for a fact that based on the dosage I take daily that you can be clean in at least 3 1/2 days. I don't know what ever1 else's dosage is But this was mine and this is how I done it and how I know in a pinch I get get cleaned up. I'm writing this because I couldn't find the truth about suboxone and how long a certain dose stays in ur system but now I know and you do to. THIS IS THE TRUTH AND THIS IS HOW I DID IT, nothing more. I hope this helps some desperate soul in time of need.

Alright, let me first say to the people who post comments on here saying that "suboxone or buprenorphine will test positive on a drug test as an opiate," Go F*** YOURSELF!!!!! After reading posts from several different chat rooms for 3 days waiting on my test results I worried myself sick!! Worst 3 days of my life cause of a--hole people who don't know a god damn thing. I took a drug test from Quest Diagnostic 45105N SAP 5-50+MDMA/6a/T and I DIDN'T have a problem passing the test! Hear that everyone???? I PASSED!!! Subs don't show as an opiate. I am prescribed suboxone and take it everyday twice a day. I also took a 12 panel First Check drug test and was negative for EVERYTHING!! So please people don't worry yourself sick like I did thinking that suboxone or buprenorphine will test positive for an opiate!!!

Thank you. You're right. I actually called the center anonymously, where I was testing that morning. I asked what they test for. They said they do the ten panel (which included alcohol) but did not include bupenorphine. Thank you so much for your reply.

Subs not show up on a regular drug screen from an employer I have been tested twice. Once by the court system and once from an employer didn't show. Went to my doc and asked him. He gave me a drug screen and nada. They will need a test for subs directly

Wait...you say that suboxone comes up as oxy in a 12 panel? I took an at home 12 panel that I bought at DCS, the $43.99 one to prepare for my test. I had taken a suboxone that morning. I passed it completely. Not even any shaky lines. The oxy line was solid. ??????

If you have read all the replies here then you will be confused about this. For some reason people who know one thing think they know everything and start giving advise when they are clueless. I've been given over 300 dt's now and not one have showed positive for Sub, and I've been on it for 6 years.

If you can't figure out the answer by reading the replies, one more won't convince you. For a dt to find Suboxone it has to be a special test for buprenorphine. Don't worry.

In order for them to find it in your system they have to do a special test which they don't unless you give then a reason to wanna test to for the suboxone I wish you the best of luck

you are absolutely right because I have tested 4 suboxone both ways urine & saliva & it did not show up, my suboxone doctor told me that it only shows up if they only test u 4 suboxone that is it there is no other way & he was absolutely correct. trust me I was scared because I work 4 the city & they use 2 give us urine test but they switched 2 saliva (DNA) & I have never ever had a problem with passing a drug test 4 suboxone, so whoever tells u different they either don't know what they are talking about or they are a police officer or probation officer just sending out the wrong info on here 2 try & scare ur ass & trust me they go on here a lot because my cousin is a cop & he told me that him & all his cop buddys go on these websites just 2 f*** with ppl like us fellow addicts but they think were all junkies, I say f*** them all cause they all got lil d**** with big guns & they were all picked on in high school so now there trying 2 get sum paybacks on high school bullys lol...
