Buprenorphine

Buprenorphine is a medication used in the treatment of opioid addiction and to a lesser extent, chronic pain management.

Who would benefit from testing buprenorphine?

Testing for buprenorphine is essential in treatment programs for opioid dependency to monitor compliance and prevent misuse. It’s also useful in clinical settings for patients prescribed buprenorphine for pain management, to ensure proper usage. Additionally, drug testing for buprenorphine may be conducted in workplace screenings, legal cases, and in medical settings to assess potential abuse or overdose.

How long does buprenorphine stay in your system?

Buprenorphine can be detected in urine for up to 7 days after use, in saliva for up to 3 days, and in blood for up to 2 days. In hair follicle tests, it can be detected for a longer period, typically up to 90 days. These detection windows can vary based on factors like frequency of use, dosage, and individual metabolism.

How long after use should you take the test?

For most accurate results, GetTested’s buprenorphine test should ideally be taken within within 7 days of the last use.
