    If it's just a screening test (most likely if the doctor does it in his office), then it should just show up as an opiate. However, if it's positive he may send the sample for what's referred to as confirmatory testing. This may determine which specific opiate was detected and at what concentration.

    definite, the meds will take place as drugs. you'll be able to desire to describe, until now you're taking the drug try, each and all the medicine you're on. Taking your previous meds isn't a criminal offense. in case you're taking Vicodin alongside with cough syrup/codiene, it seems such as you're abusing drugs. And your probation officer isn't stupid...you're actually not unwell, you're getting extreme..!
