OPIATES

The opiates test detects the presence of opiates, a class of drugs that include morphine, heroin, and codeine, in the blood, urine, or saliva. Opiates are used medically for pain relief but are also commonly abused for their euphoric effects. The test is used in clinical and forensic settings to screen for opiate use, monitor adherence to prescribed medications, and detect potential abuse. Positive test results can help healthcare providers identify substance use disorders, provide appropriate treatment, and prevent complications associated with opiate use.
