How Long Does Suboxone Stay In The Body?

I am applying for a job and have been on maintenance treatment with suboxone 8mg daily. How soon after I stop taking this medication will it show up in my system. This company has no tolerance for any controlled substance levels even methadone and suboxone treatment for former addicts.

Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. Thank you for your query. I am Dr. Rommstein and I will try to help you as much as I can.

It takes 2 weeks after stopping it for complete evacuation from the body. However, standard tests will not be able to detect it after 7-10 days. Also, I think that you should not hide suboxone intake since this is legal medication for addiction treatment.

I hope I have answered you query. If you have any further questions you can contact us.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
