What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're experiencing unexplained symptoms like extreme drowsiness, confusion, slowed breathing, or unusual behavior that might be related to opiate exposure. It's commonly used to confirm whether specific opiates are present in your blood when a screening test comes back positive, or when your doctor needs to identify exactly which opiate medication or substance is affecting you. Many people use this test for medication monitoring, workplace requirements, or to get definitive answers about suspected substance use.

What happens after I get my results?

You'll receive detailed doctor notes in simple language explaining which opiates, if any, were detected in your blood and what those findings mean for your situation. These notes include guidance on next steps, whether that's discussing findings with your prescribing physician, addressing potential medication interactions, or considering substance use support resources. You'll also get the standard lab report, and if you're monitoring over time, you can use our trends feature to track changes between tests.

What's included in this test?

This panel measures Codeine, Hydrocodone, Hydromorphone, Morphine, and Oxycodone. This test identifies and measures specific opiate compounds including codeine, morphine, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, and oxycodone. These are the most commonly prescribed pain medications and their metabolites, which your body creates as it processes these drugs. By measuring each one separately, this confirmation test provides precise information about which specific opiates are present, helping distinguish between prescribed medications, their natural breakdown products, and potential undisclosed use.

How should I prepare for this test?

No special preparation is needed for this test. You don't need to fast or avoid any foods or drinks beforehand. However, be sure to inform the testing facility about all prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, and supplements you're taking, as some can affect test results or interpretation. If you're being tested for workplace or legal reasons, follow any specific instructions provided by the requesting authority.

When will I get my results?

Confirmation testing typically takes 3-5 business days after your sample reaches the laboratory, as it uses advanced techniques to precisely identify and measure specific opiate compounds. This is longer than basic screening tests, but the extra time ensures highly accurate, definitive results. You'll be notified as soon as your results are ready and your doctor notes are prepared.

Who should consider getting this test?

This test is important for anyone who had a positive opiate screening test and needs confirmation of exactly which substances are present. It's also used by people taking prescribed opioid medications who need to verify proper medication use, those in pain management programs requiring regular monitoring, or individuals in recovery programs. Healthcare providers may also order this test to investigate unexplained symptoms or suspected medication interactions.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Symptoms that may warrant this test include unexplained extreme drowsiness or sedation, confusion or disorientation, slowed or shallow breathing, constricted pupils, or unusual changes in behavior or mood. You might also need this test if you're experiencing unexpected side effects from prescribed pain medications, or if there's concern about accidental exposure or ingestion, especially in children or elderly individuals.

What does a positive result mean?

A positive result means that one or more specific opiates were detected in your blood at the time of testing. This confirms the presence and identifies which exact opiates are present, whether prescribed medications like oxycodone or hydrocodone, or their breakdown products like morphine. The result helps your healthcare provider understand your medication levels, verify proper use of prescribed opioids, or identify substances that may be causing symptoms or concerns.

What does a negative result mean?

A negative result means that none of the tested opiates (codeine, morphine, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, or oxycodone) were detected in your blood at levels above the testing threshold. This could mean you haven't taken these substances recently, they've already been eliminated from your system, or levels are below the detection limit. If you're taking prescribed opioids and get a negative result, discuss this with your doctor as it may affect your pain management plan.

How long do opiates stay detectable in blood?

Most opiates are detectable in blood for a relatively short window, typically 6-24 hours after use, though this varies by the specific drug and individual factors. Short-acting opiates like morphine may clear faster, while longer-acting medications like methadone can be detected longer. Detection windows are affected by your metabolism, liver and kidney function, dosage, frequency of use, and hydration levels. Blood tests provide a snapshot of very recent use, unlike urine tests which have longer detection windows.
