Question Failed suboxone UA 11 days after last dose!? HELP me understand!

I am happily in recovery from a year of heroin abuse. I was on suboxone for around a year after that. From time to time I would relapse on the hard stuff so I checked into an IOP to try to beat this thing once and for all. They wouldn't let me take my suboxone so I did what the doctor ordered and, with help of librium and clonodine , stopped taking it. (little rough but not too bad. was only on 2mg/day) Doc had me do the two days of a higher dose (12mg/day) and then quit completely. Well that was 11 days ago and I failed a suboxone UA twice today!! It was the stick they dip in the urine-I made them take another sample and do it right in front of me again with the same results. They are sending it to the lab but they think I am back on it. The lab they called said it only stays in your system for 72 hours! Can that be right if the half life is 24-37 hours?

I have been researching this all over the net and there really is no solid info.

Please please please help! I was just starting to feel good about my recovery and this has made my people question the integrity of it all. I swear on my mom, dad, both brother's and my dog's lives that I haven't had it in 11 days, well 12 now! (3 am) I would be crashed right now otherwise

I can talk more about my entire suboxone experience if anyone wants to hear it. It really feels good not being on it.

Exclamation Re: Failed suboxone UA 11 days after last dose!? HELP me understand!

Btw I got that 24 to 37 hour figure off some other site so it could be wrong but I have had three DOCTORS tell me it has at least a 24 hour half-life.

There is a chance that the buprenorphine or whatever is out of your urine quicker and that is what they test for but I don't think thats the case.

So lets do the math-

With it being 24 hrs-

wed- 13 mg (pill and a half and 1 mg from day before)
thurs-18.5 mg (pill and a half plus half of wed)
fri -9.25 mg (took ZERO from here out)
sat -4.62 mg
sun -2.31
mon -1.155
tues -0.5775
wed -0.2887
thurs-0.1444
fri -0.0721
sat -0.0361
sun -0.0180
test day- .0090mg

Obviously that is an extremely tiny amount and there are multiple active ingredients in suboxone- I am not sure which one they test for but .0090 is absolutely more than zero so maybe thats the answer. Kinda doubt it.

Think this is driving me insane? I am a kinda big guy - 6 foot two bills and I could barely get enough urine out for the sample. Maybe that made it a little more concentrated. Should'nt matter.
