Question by Sarah: I go to a Suboxone clinic for heroin addiction?
That is why it’s necessary I pass so I will do whatever it takes to pass. The benzos are my main concern but can’t have either. And they don’t test hair, just urine.

Best answer:

Answer by D
Your question is somewhat unclear to me. Have you taken benzos recently, and are concerned that the clinic will find out? Yes, they do frown on that. There’s really not a lot you can do to hide the use of benzos, and they have unpredictable degrees of staying in one’s body. Klonopin and Valium, for example, have very long half-lives, and sometimes are detected for weeks after even small usage.

You know your clinic better than I do, so maybe coming clean to them, admitting to it before they test, may be preferable?

I just started Buprenorphine recently, and am prescribed Klonopin by a shrink. My clinic doctor wants me off the benzos (and frankly I agree).
