I take suboxone (buprenorphine) as maintenance therapy for an opiate addiction. It has been wonderful at helping me stay clean and my life has turned around. I also smoke, and get a lot of relief from smoking as well. I wouldn't want to give up either medication because they both in combination help me to function in life in a way I never have before. I used to have a prescription when I lived in California, but now I'm in a non-medical-marijuana state and keep my smoking on the down low, even from my doctor. He is a wonderful guy and has helped me so much, but he believes that one drug is the same as any other (he's a recovering addict/alcoholic who subscribes to the 12-step model of treatment). So I've been taking suboxone for 6 months, have not relapsed or even slipped back to opiates, but all of a sudden he wants me to get a 7-panel urine screen. I can make the appointment anywhere I want to go, and I'm thinking about Quest. (any opinions on where to go?)

I fear my doctor will not prescribe the suboxone to me anymore, or see me anymore, if I test positive for marijuana or opiates or anything that's tested for on the 7 panel. This is what he told me when I signed up for treatment, but he's never drug tested me before. I would pass all the parts of the test except marijuana. However, he wrote "buprenorphine" (generic for suboxone) on the order for the urine test. I was planning on substituting (QF), but now I'm afraid I won't test positive for opiates, and he'll know I substituted.

In the past I've used Klear with great results for weed but poor results for opiates. But I think they test for that now, don't they? Are there any labs that do not test for Klear (nitrites)? I recently found something called NuKlear on the web that's supposedly a new adulterant. Anyone know anything about it?

Any advice? I am a heavy, chronic smoker and I need to get the test done before I see my doctor again, one week from today. Thanks.
