Customer Question

how long does xanax and opiates stay in ur system

Submitted: 1 year ago.

Expert:  Dr. Abby replied 1 year ago.

Hello,

Is there a specific opiate you are referring to?
Are you inquiring about a urine drug test?

Expert:  FamilyPhysician replied 1 year ago.

Thank you for your question:

Xaxax can generally be detected in urine testing for about 5 days.

The "opiates" are a difffuse class of medications with detection periods of about 3 days for codeine and morphine. The most commom "opiate" test as in the DOT drug testing panel does not identify the ingredients in Percocet (oxycodone) or Lortab (hydrocodone). If specific testing is done (as is often the case in the expanded panels), these also are detectable for about 3 days. Methadone can be detected for about 7 days.
