does suboxon show up in drug test

My father calls DSS on me when he is angry at me....Yet again he has called them, and now they have been questioning me about my son.  They came here, they said everything looks fine, they just need me to take a drug test.  I am currently taking suboxon, and was hoping someone could tell me if it showed up on drugtest?  I do have a perscription, but I still need to know.  Thanks guys!

Thank you!  One more thing....If I was taking OCs and Dilloudeds everyday for like, 6 months, i heard it would take up to a month to get them out of my system?  Is that true?

it takes sub 3-5 days to leave your system.  but it wont show up...you have to take a specialized test for that.  it will be okay.  congrads on your 10 days clean sweetie.

No.  I told them that I havent done any drugs, if they see the suboxon they will know that Im on it because I used to do drugs....I dont know what to do.  Im really scared I will lose my son over this....I read what my dad had said to DSS about me.  None of it is true, he said my son has bruises all over him from me beating him, and that I take my son into the city to buy crack....when DSS got here, they were angry that my father had wasted there time.  They met my son, who has no bruises on him (i've never hit my son) and I also have never smoked crack.  They said that he is obviously in a loving home, and as long as I pass a drug test, I will be cleared.....I dont want to cheat my way out of this, but Im not on drugs, Im taking the suboxin to try to get better.  I havent done pills in over a week....is there anything I can do to make this not show up on my test?  Maybe drink a lot of water, or would a detox drink from GNC work?  I feel bad even asking for a way around this, but Im getting my life togeather, and if I lose my son it will all fall right back appart.  Please, if anyone knows of anyway to cheat the test (again I feel horrible, but its suboxon, not drugs, but they still wont be happy about that) please let me know.

Any drug test has to be designed to pick up suboxone and I believe the tests administered by DSS aren't designed to pick that up. All opiates metabolize differently and the test has to be specifically designed to test for the drug in question or you're home free. Even if I'm wrong and it does test for suboxone and you are faced with a positive drug result (assuming you test positive for suboxone only), I assure you DSS will respond positively to your efforts in seeking treatment as opposed to testing positive for a drug for which you do not have a presciption. It shows responsibility and an effort to recover. You have nothing to worry about. Good luck.
