what does a 18 panel drug test screen for?
I am currently in a halfway house and working on my recovery. I undergo an 18-panel drug test and would like to know what substances it screens for. I am aware that it tests for the basics, such as THC, opiates, benzodiazepines, Suboxone, cocaine, amphetamines, methamphetamines, and antidepressants. However, I am curious if there are any additional substances included in the test. I also believe it tests for oxycodone. Can anyone provide more information on this?

it tests for illegal drug use, and prescriptions that you do not have an RX for. You are there to learn how to be sober, if that is not your plan then leave so your bed can go to someone that does.
Yeah honestly, I don’t know how often you exercise, but that plays a fairly important role into determining how fast the THC will evacuate your system. In fact, I think sweating and increasing heart rate may be the fastest way. (No evidence to back this up) People say it has a fairly short half-life but I’ve never actually seen any statistics. Regardless, smoking pot (even months) in advance to getting a job where you know you’ll be drug tested is a pretty poor decision. Personally, I think different people react differently to THC; and nobody can be sure when they’ll finally be ‘clean’. @Nurse Susan I dunno…I mean unless you showed me clinical evidence that sweating and/or flushing a lot of fluids doesn’t help detox the body in some way I’d be skeptical to believe there’s nothing you can do about it. I realize you’re a nurse or whatever, but proof > opinion. GL
