My fiance and i just gave birth to a baby girl. I was prescribed subutex as i was addicted to heroin and they told me this would be safe for the baby even thought the baby will have to go through withdrawals and children and families social services wil get a report filed. I live in Ma, they call it DCF here dept pf children and families. Unfortunately 3 weeks b4 i was due i relapsed on H. I went in for an ultrasound and they told me I needed an emergency induction as the baby was not growing and i was low on amniotic fluid and that she would do better outside my body. this was the day after i relapsed. Obv when she was born and they tested her and i, i tested + for opiates. I was prescribed cough syrup with morphine and i told them thata was what it was. They said that they were gonna send it to an outside lab for further testing & a breakdown of what the opiate was. I know they only had 3 oz of urine and with other tests they had to use it for i am praying they did not have enough to get the breakdown. My fiance was and i were IV the subutex, so i did have fresh track marks which the nurses noted in my file. My fiance will need to b drug tested he was taking subutex and klonopin. So the MAIN question is how long will it take to be undetectable. Also if anyone knows any info on MA DCF could u please share with me. I was also told they can test the babies first stool and detect illicut drug use for up to 4 to 5 months from due date which was jan 28th. Can they break the stool down and find out exactly what was taken just like with the urine?

PLEASE HELP
 
That's horrible, you used heroin when you were pregnant. Now the baby has to go through withdrawals because you were on Suboxone? I understand your an addict but that's just wrong. I did just about the worse of the worse but...that's just sad. The baby should be sent to another family. I know your going to yell at me and say who am I to judge or that its none of my business and that wasn't even the question. But if you can't quit when your pregnant, you probably won't quit now.

Suboxone stays in your system for 5 days. The clonazepam will show up anywhere from 3-10 days.
 
When they do drug testing they test for what the drugs break down to into the body. Heroin breaks down into morphine, so you might be able to get by with saying you used cough syrup with morphine.

The big issue here is the health of your child. Congrats on being a new mom and I hope you may rise above it and be there for your child. I understand addiction is evil and makes you do things, I have been there. You can never change what has already happened but you can control yourself and the future. I hope your child is healthy and I hope that you get better as well.

Peace
