Okay I feel so sorry for you people who are reading all this bs and believing it.. First off I am a registered nurse and will tell you the truth about suboxone.  First off suboxone is NOT an opiate, and will never come up as an opiate on a drug test.. Hello people the purpose is to get you off opiates not give you more. When getting drug tested they must specifically test for suboxone if getting tested for a job or something like that they will most likely not give you the seperate test for it its very expensive but if being tested for the court or probation they 99% of the time test for it I know this bc I get drug tested by the court and have been tested for suboxone every single time. Also how long it stays in your system truley depends on your metabolism and how much of the drug you take. Ive known people who have gotten it out of there system in a few days and others a few weeks. I myself had been off of it for 7 days and still came up positive for it. If getting drug tested by courts or probation my suggestion is give yourself atleast 2 weeks off the drug and if getting tested by a job don't worry you should be okay 99% of jobs will not test for the drug.  Really hope this helped everyone I know how frustrating ot can be to get 100 different answers to one simple question.

I have been trying to find out how long suboxone stays in your system and I have been on about 4 sights and everyone says that is shows up as opiates on your drug test. I am glad that I finally ran across someone who actually knows what they are talking about. Lol. That it is a separate test. Thanks.

Thank you! I have been looking for a job, but one that doesn't drug test or afraid to go leave a ua because I take 1mg. Of suboxin daily for the past year.

Suboxone stays in the system 3-7 days depending on your dose. Suboxone normally isn't tested for and will not cause you to fail a drug test.

There is not a test that will test positive for suboxone; therefore, if you test positive or fail a drug test, you've taken something else.

I have been on 16 mg of Suboxone for 3 mos. During tha( time i have had 2 drug tests-my drug tests were both negative. My shrink says unless they dspecifically test for the sub there will be a negative test. Most labs dont test for subs due to expense

I am on suboxone and currently tested for EVERYTHING due to being involved with child protection.  Suboxone does not show up as an opiate or any other drug.  They would have to specifically order a completely different test than all the other standard panel tests and test for it separately.

I am due to be tested for the same thing and sound like im in the same situation, any advice. It is in a child custody case and CYS is investigating us both. I am prescribed Oxys by my doctor for epilepsy and back nerve damage, I didnt want CYS to know so I asked my generl Dr to give me something to stop the Oxys? They want to drug test me and they watch you pee, what can I expect?

Suboxone does not show up on the majority of drug tests. My doctor had to run a specific test to check for the Suboxone in my system. A test that is unlikely to be run for a job. It does not show up as an opiate. It does not show up on the majority of drug testing at all. Go ahead and drink the water if you want, but it is really not necessary. I was a drug and alcohol counselor, the manager of the county detox for 10 years, so I do have the credentials to answer your question.

Suboxone will be mostly out of your system within 36 hours, by this
time you will feel no effects of the drug (by this we mean no positive
effects, but rather the individual could experience withdrawal for
several days), but the half life of buprenorphine(which one of two
drugs in suboxone) is up to 60 hours, so if in the vary rare event that
you are tested for suboxone, than it is traceable for up to 72 hours at
the most. But I can not stress enough that it is very unlikely for you
to ever be tested for suboxone.

I've been on Suboxone's for 2 years and I've failed some drug tests only because I've  taken it. For the past few months I've been taking a drug test by my doctor, and since
I haven't taken any Lortab or smoked pot, & opiates has not showed up in my urine. I
am sure because he shows me the results. I'm not saying anyone's wrong. I'm just
saying what has happened to me. When I started them I was taking up to 2 and a
1/2, then to 2 a day, then 1 1/2, and now I take one a day. Well, that's what I am
suppose to take but I usually just take a quarter of it. I'm trying to wing my own
self off of these. By only taking a quarter to a half at least, How long will it take
to get out of my system?

Suboxone does not show up in a regular drug screen. It has to be specifically tested for. If your Probation officer gave you a drug screen then they tested for Suboxone or they lied to you.

The previous answer is actually NOT correct, subutex AND suboxone WILL show up on a drug test. In most cases, a standard drug test does not test for either, but there is a seperate test that will determine if you have taken an opiate blocker such as suboxone and subutex and it is a little bit more expensive but is worth it to the one administering the test. Also, they are now coming out with new tests where they can test for marijuana, opiates, suoxone and subutex so there is pretty much no way to hide your usage. Subutex has a half life of 2.2 hours and can be flushed out of your system but not guaranteed to work. Also, be aware that there are other tests besides urine tests such as hair follicle tests where the drug will stay in your system for even longer. Good luck!!

Yes, Suboxone stays in your system 7-14 days on average. It WILL come up positive for opiates. Further testing will show that it's beupomorphine or w/e. But again, IT WILL show opiate positive. The people who say no are tested in a program where the staff knows that they're on Subs. Therefore, they test it further after it shows up as opiates. So all these ppl hear is "yes for subs, no for opiates" when in reality that's not what the test says. Do NOT search further for an answer that makes you feel better. Just deal with the truth. Sorry
