A member asked:

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

A doctor has provided 1 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.
