Curious about what opioids can slip through the cracks in standard drug tests? This episode of 'Recovery Partner Network' breaks it down for you. Standard immunoassay testing is the go-to for many because it's quick and affordable. But did you know it only screens for morphine, codeine, and heroin? If you're dealing with other opioids like hydrocodone, oxycodone, methadone, fentanyl, buprenorphine, or tramadol, they won't show up in these tests.
The hosts dive into why this happens and what it means for those in recovery or those supporting someone through it. It's a must-listen if you want to understand the limitations of these common tests and what alternatives might be available.
