Not to worry. Suboxone does not show in standard drug tests. Tell your employer you have a medical illness that is fully controlled by an approved medication. duration depends on liver and kidney function which if impaired prolongs it. The average time for significant excretion is 37 hours but may be twice as long in some cases.
Good morning. It takes on average 72 hours from the last ingestion of a Buprenorphine product to get a negative urine drug screen. If you get the long acting injectable buprenorphine product, it can take up to 30 days to get a negative drug screen. Dr. Dixie

This is determined by your enzymes and body fat and length of exposure of taking Suboxone in hair 3 months or longer, saliva more than a week or longer and urine over 2weeks
3 days
It can take 7-10 days if you are using sublingual. Much longer if using subcutaneous buprenorphine
Most urine screening tests do NOT test for buprenorphine, the active ingredient in Suboxone. And anyway it should be long gone by the time you have your pre-employment test. Good luck!
