How long do opiates stay in your system?

Answer by  DrSPReddy (127)

Opiates can stay in your body for a few minutes to a few days depending on the prepaorartion and the kind of opiate. Morphine sulfate given intravenously has a relatively short half life in minutes to hours whereas MSContin a long acting oral opiate may stay in your system for hours or days

Opiates can be detected through hair testing for up to 3 months, and through urine or saliva for 2 to 3 days, depending on amounts, strength, and length of usage.

It depends on the person and the test. Typically 2-5 days for a urine test and 3 months for a hair test.

Opiates have a long half-life and can be detected in the urine and blood for up to four weeks. A hair strand test will reveal it for years.

It depends on how long you have been on them. Those who have been taking opiates for an extended period will have them stay in their system for longer than those who have only taken them for a few days.

Answer by  jennyanydots (294)

In urine tests and blood tests, opiates can be detectable for 36 hours up to four days. This varies also depending on the amount consumed, for instance one pill or an overdose. If tested using a hair follicle, it can show up several months later, again depending on dose and frequency.

Opiates (including heroin, laudanum, methadone, oxycodone, and morphine) generally linger in the human body for one or two days, but that always depends on the drug-taker's own individual immune system. Weight, gender, prior drug use, health conditions, and the exact dosage can all affect the length of time it takes.

Answer by  joeradkins (60)

most opiates such as oxycontin and roxycotins stay in your system aprox. three days. also depends on how much you use and how long.

You would need to ask the doctor that question. Or you can look it up online. I think it stays in there for a long time, but not real sure.
