Can suboxone test positive for opiates?

Answer 1

methadone does not show up as an "opiate" on a drug test. It is an opiate, but it is sythentically different from other opiates and will not show up on a drug test as an opiate.

Methadone has to be specifically tested for as methadone. With methadone abuse on the rise, alot of places have gone ahead and added it to the list of substances tested for so I wouldn't take a chance on it not be discovered.

However, methadone clinics, when testing to see if you are taking your methadone properly will not only be looking for active methadone in the urine, but also methadone metabolite which shows that your body processed the methadone. This prevents someone from just putting a bit of methadone in their urine because this manner doesn't provide methadone metabolites.

Answer 2

No, Methadone will only show up as methadone because it can only be detected by its own specific test.
