Hydrocodone will come up as the same thing as morphine on the basic u/a the MMT clinic gives as they are both opiates..If you sent off for the GC/MS which is what I am assuming you did since you said you are challenging the results then it should come back as hydrocodone on that and not morphine..The screen is just that a screen and it looks for the basic metabolites of each group of drugs..Sometimes certain OTC's and Non-narcotic Rx'd drugs can throw what is called a "false positive" on a screen..The GC/MS is a more indepth test of the urine and it breaks it(the urine)down into the actual drug instead of just a general grouping..So if you took hydrocodone and got a positive back on the opiates then it should come back as hydrocodone on the GC/MS....Like the last poster said is the clinic aware of you taking the occassional hydrocodone for pain?Is it approved for you to do so through them?If so then you should have no problem..If not then your best bet would be to get that bottle up there and show them also you may wanna get a note from the MD that wrote the hydrocodone saying that he knows your are on the MMT program but felt you needed the hydrocodone anyways..Those will be the ONLY ways to get out of this becoming a positive/dirty screen on your record...Good Luck I hope everything works out for you...I am also a MMT patient going on 3 yrs..I have to say I thank god everyday for my treatment because I know I wouldnt have anything today without it....Again goodluck and I will keep my fingers crossed for you...
