Urine screens

I am taking 16mg of suboxone a day, how long will the subs last in my urine? I have been taking subs for about 3 months and i would have like a day or two break in between taking it sometimes. how long will the subs give me a hot urine for??? will it still be 72hrs to clean out of my system or will it take longer since i have been taking it for 3 months.?

I would not be anything but 100 % HONSET with whether you are on sub or not!!!! Nothing is worth losing your kids over . If you have some kind of guideline with dss stick with it.

its not for an employment screening. i'm involved with children services and i have tests and they test for it in my system. i'm worried that they will try to take my children if i say i'm done taking subs and they still show up. these people are shadey. thanks for your input.

Subs half life is about 36 hours, if you have been taking it everyday it will be about a week or so since before its out of your system completely, especially at 16mgs a day.  Not too many employers test for suboxone though, as it doesn't show up as a opiate and would only get picked up on a (gcms) mass spectrometer specifc gravity test, which cost more money than the nida 5 whiz strips which only tests for the more common drugs, marijuana, cocaine, morphine, meth, etc.
