Buprenorphine
Buprenorphine is a medication used in the treatment of opioid addiction and to a lesser extent, chronic pain management. It's a partial opioid agonist, which means it can produce effects similar to opioids but with a lower risk of dependence and abuse compared to full opioid agonists like morphine or heroin. Buprenorphine is often used in medication-assisted therapy (MAT) for opioid addiction, helping to reduce withdrawal symptoms and cravings....
Description
Testing for buprenorphine is essential in treatment programs for opioid dependency to monitor compliance and prevent misuse. It’s also useful in clinical settings for patients prescribed buprenorphine for pain management, to ensure proper usage. Additionally, drug testing for buprenorphine may be conducted in workplace screenings, legal cases, and in medical settings to assess potential abuse or overdose.
Buprenorphine can be detected in urine for up to 7 days after use, in saliva for up to 3 days, and in blood for up to 2 days. In hair follicle tests, it can be detected for a longer period, typically up to 90 days. These detection windows can vary based on factors like frequency of use, dosage, and individual metabolism.
For most accurate results, GetTested’s buprenorphine test should ideally be taken within within 7 days of the last use.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
