Brief Answer:
Yes

Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome. Yes,it can cause positive results in standard tests and you should mention that you 're taking it before testw. Some more specific tests may discriminate neltrexone from opiates such as heroine or morphium but these are usually taken from blood and are more expensive. Wish you good health.Regards
