What should I do??

I tested positive form benzo;s last Fri. I am a recovering heroin addict and take suboxone and the combo is leathel. I have been clean almost 11 months now. I have not taking any benzo's. I have searched the internet for anything on the subject and called drug testing companys no answers. I know I am an addict in recovery and I take it serious and want some answers. I am tired of being treated as a lie. At this stage in the game I have way to much to lose my meds, my kids and husband. Second I know my Dr. would be alright well she'd work with me if I had taking something and relapsed. I am so upset and looking for answers but just can't find any. I did go to a lab and have blood and urine test done the following/this Mon to show her. I damn well know that dip stick test was wrong but can't find any info to back me up????

Thank you for the support. I felt like no one believed me in the "real word" and I looked up about what can cause you to fail a dip stick drug test and you wouldn't believe what will interfer with them clear down to laundry soap(you know like your underwear rubbing up aginst you and not have rised sll the soap out) hell advil can test for THC it was amazing so I feel better knowing that there is a simple answer and I was not Mikkied or losing my mind. I did change Dr.'s this week after almost a yr. with my original Dr., but I am growing and it is time I move on with my next chapter now. He is so nice he really treated me as a person and not an addict like my other Dr. did so that was really nice. He said he out the ball back in my court so I have control over my soberity. Not only that he is a family Dr. none of this clinic ****. Real drug test which I passed with flying colors oh yeah by the way I passed yhe one I took Mon for the old Dr. at the real lab.. They even said dip stick error with first test. She sent it in to have it tested too/or looked at the hospital lab said error:) So I am happy and feeling less stressed trying to think did I eat a benzo and I just don't remember??!!!! So alls well that ends well

I have heard that tests can be wrong, more often than they will admit. Also labs mix tests up. There are humans that make mistakes running these labs.
