Opiate and opioid drug testing for your peace of mind
Opiates are natural chemical compounds that are extracted or refined from plant matter such as poppy sap and fibers. Examples of opiates include heroin, morphine, and codeine.
The terms ‘opiates’ and ‘opioids’ are often used interchangeably, however the two are different.
Unlike opiates, opioids are chemical compounds that are not generally derived from plant matter and are commonly manufactured in a ‘lab’ or ‘synthesized’. Examples of opioids include methadone and fentanyl.
Different opiates and opioids are classified differently under federal law, depending on their potency, potential for abuse and dependency, and whether they are legal when prescribed by a physician. Most opiates/opioids are classed as schedule II, III, IV or V narcotics under the Controlled Substances Act.
Both opiates and opioids are also highly detectable in drug tests and can be found in hair, nail clippings and urine.
Whether you have concerns about a loved one misusing drugs, or simply want a test for other personal reasons, AlphaBiolabs can help.

What are opiates and opioids?
Opiates are natural chemical compounds that are extracted or refined from plant matter, such as poppy sap and fibers. Examples of opiates include heroin, morphine, and codeine.
The terms ‘opiates’ and ‘opioids’ are often used interchangeably. However, the two are different.
Unlike opiates, opioids are chemical compounds that are not generally derived from plant matter and are commonly manufactured in a ‘lab’ or ‘synthesized’. Examples of opioids include methadone and fentanyl.
How are opiates and opioids used?
Opiates and opioids are used in a variety of ways, depending on their format.
Often, they are ingested in tablet, capsule, or syrup form, but can also be inhaled using a nebuliser, or absorbed via a patch on the skin.
They may also be injected or smoked.
How long do opiates and opioids stay in your system?
Even after the ‘high’ has worn off, and long after the drug was first consumed, opiate/opioid use can be detected by a drug test, depending on the type of test you take.
The drug testing detection windows for opiates/opioids are as follows:
Which drug test is best for opiates/opioids?
The type of drug test you need depends on your individual needs and circumstances. We offer three types of drug test to detect opiate/opioid use:
Urine drug tests provide a narrow window of detection, meaning that they can only tell us whether an individual has been using drugs in the few days prior to the samples being collected.
A urine drug test provides a window of detection up to four days after marijuana was first used.
This makes urine drug tests ideal for circumstances where an individual is suspected to be under the influence of drugs in the ‘here and now’, or for day-to-day monitoring of drug use.
Hair drug tests and nail drug tests provide us with a wide window of detection (up to 12 months). This is due to the way in which drugs are retained in the hair and nails, long after substances were first consumed.
Peace of mind, home hair drug tests can provide an overview of drug use up to 12 months. Nail drug tests are ideal where hair testing is not possible, providing an overview of historic drug use up to six months (fingernails) or up to 12 months (toenails).
Our home drug tests allow you to collect your samples in the comfort of your own home and return them to our laboratory for testing (where appropriate). Please be aware that the results of these tests cannot be used for legal purposes.
