Hello everybody.
I recently went on Suboxone after struggling with addiction for years. I suppose my addiction would've been classified as "mild" but I was just unable to shake it and wanted help.
Anywhoo, on my first visit to the doc, I had the standard 12-panel urine test. I wasn't on anything but street suboxone so that's all that showed up. When I came in for my second visit this week, I did another urine test, but this one was not in a standard cup with the litmus papers... it looked like it was designed for shipment to a lab. Then, during the conversation with my doc, she asked me if I was prescribed cyclobenzaprine. I was taken aback because the last time I took that was like 4-5 weeks ago and I only had like 5-10mg for some bad muscle pain after working a lot. But this means they must've tested my last urine sample in a lab!
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I thought that in order to find the presence of a drug, you need to test for that specific drug's metabolite. If that's the case, then why the heck did they test for Flexeril?? Is that shit even abuseable? This leads me to wonder what all they DO test for...
The reason I'm concerned is that I have VIP tickets to a really personally important music festival coming up that I've had for 2 years thanks to covid. My thought was that I'd be able to go to this festival and dabble in some hallucinogens because I've never seen any test search for them. I am really committed to my recovery, but this is a one-time event that I've been looking forward to for years and taking a therapeutic dose of acid while I'm bourgeoning into this new phase of my life sounds wonderful! Or maybe just looking back on a great day there and laying in my hammock, looking at the stars, and smoking a little deemz to get a cool, new perspective...
So my question is this: What all generally gets searched for in a lab-issued urine screening? Does LSD/Psilocybin/DMT/Ket regularly show up? If they do, how long would they take to get out of your system? (I've read up some on how long they stay in your system for a regular test, but it seems like these lab tests pick up even trace amounts).
Also, do you think having this stuff show up will warrent my expulsion from the program? Or could my insurance suddenly decide they're no longer going to cover treatment? I told my doc that I had planned on doing this before I made the choice to start subs, but she -obviously- wasn't too keen on the idea... she said she didn't give a damn about weed, though, which kinda makes me think this is all at her discretion, I just really don't know.
Thanks for the help y'all!
