Does suboxone show up on a methadone clinic drug screen?!
Question:
Does suboxone show up on a methadone clinic drug screen?
Does suboxone show up on a methadone clinic drug screen, do they test for it? I am in a methadone treatment center and am considering switching to sub, but I want to try it first and if I don't like it I don't want it to interfere with my methadone treatment. Your weekly fee pays for your lab screens and they say that a sub test costs a lot, so I wouldn't think they would want to pay any extra for anything they didn't have to, because that would only lose them part of the money they get to keep? Please help, I am afraid to try it, because I never know when they are going to screen me?
Answers:
It is very dangerous to take suboxone with methadone. You will get really sick. They should've told you that at the clinic.
If you want to take suboxone you should only take it when you start getting sick from withdrawing from methadone. Suboxone will NOT show up in a standard urine test. Its not really an opiate. They do have specific tests for suboxone though. Ask your doctor.
I think you should switch to suboxone because it gives you a lot more freedom. I see my friends going to the clinic everyday. Seems like it sucks. I take suboxone and I think it works waaayy better then methadone ever will. You can just go on with your life happy.
