Question 1

if i took about 3 to 4 mg of suboxone on sunday  about noon. would it still show up on a urine drug screen thursday about  1 pm?

Accepted Answer

Depends on what test: The likelihood is low that one dose of 4 mg would show up 4 days later on a drug test, but it depends to some extent on exactly what test they are doing (a screening dipstick test or a formal gc/ms test = much fancier and more sensitive).  More important than beating a drug test is dealing with your issues. Your success will not be measured in hiding your problems, but getting help dealing with it.

Question 2

i have been taking suboxone for a few years. i take on average 4mg or half of a tablet daily. how long will it be detectable in a urine drug screen?

Accepted Answer

3-5 days: Suboxone is detectable in urine up to 4-5 days after ingestion. It has a long half life (24-60 hours) and generally it takes 5 half-lives to clear the substance from your system. But it is unlikely that you will be drug tested for buprenorphine.

Question 3

how doe suboxone show up or read as on a urine drug screen? and how long does suboxone stay in your urine? overcoming a brief opiate dependence and looking for work.

Accepted Answer

Suboxone : Suboxone is a very potent pain medication and can be detected in someone's urine from 3 to 7 days after the last dose depending on the brand of testing used.  Good luck!

Question 4

i took three 8mg suboxone over 5 days a little each day. haven't taken any for 14days. will this show on a lab drug screen. 14 days later?

Accepted Answer

See below: Most urine drug tests do not assess for Buprenorphine however i would anticipate it would be gone by 14 days.

Question 5

can suboxone show up on a methadone clinic drug screen?

Accepted Answer

Probably: I prescribe Suboxone for addiction and i test for a large group of medications.  It should be on their test list.

Question 6

if i took suboxone 14days ago will it show up on a drug screen?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: Firstly, very few people are drug testing for Buprenorphine unless for very specific reasons, and it will not show up on the usual opiate screens. Secondly, a single dose would be unlikely to still be at detection limits 2 weeks later even if they were testing for it, unless it was a very high dose and you have an unusually slow metabolism.

Question 7

is it possible for me to pass a drug screen 3 days after taking suboxone?

Accepted Answer

Suboxone half life: Test for it. The test for Suboxone has to be separately ordered. It is not in most of the standard urinalysis tests for urine toxicology..It's elimation half life is between 20 and 73 hours with a mean of 37 hours. It could therefor take between 100 and 365 hours for it to leave your system, with a mean of 185 hours, or between approx. 4 days and 15 days with a mean of  7.7 days.

Question 8

i go to a suboxone clinic and was wondering if neurontin (gabapentin) shows up in their drug screen?

Accepted Answer

No: It will not show up. But Marijuana, cocaine,Benzodiazepams and opiods will show up

Question 9

if you are legally taking suboxone and fail a pre employment drug screen for buprenorphine is it legal for them to deny the job?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: If you are taking prescribed  buprenorphine, you may fall under the protection of the  americans with disabilities act.  If so, you are entitled to accommodations for your disability if our employer has more than 50 employees and meets other criteria.  Get  your doctors note  doctor that the Buprenorphine is  prescribed and you and the medication are under medical supervision. Then take the test.
