Narcan&urine drug: NO!. narcan (naloxone) - nalaxone will show up in drug testing (especially if you are going to an office/clinic that does addiction medicine BUT WILL NOT appear in the standard drug screen for employment. Nalaxone is combined with buprenorphine in the medication Suboxone/Zubsolv/Bunavail. But with your recent revived OD you should be seeking help and be honest if you are in treatment but relapsed

No: “Does naloxone cause a positive urine opiate screen?” “Although the metabolites of naloxone hydrochloride are similar in structure to oxymorphone and are excreted in human urine for several days, naloxone was not associated with a positive enzymatic urine screen for opiates.” REF: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7978599

Cause of OD: What you overdosed on is more likely to cause you to fail a drug test.
