This blood test screens for opiates, the natural opioid compounds such as morphine and codeine, using an immunoassay. A blood specimen reflects circulating drug and may be chosen when recent exposure is the question. Because a positive screen is presumptive, confirmation with a more specific method may be recommended to identify the exact compound. The test targets natural opiates, so unrelated synthetic opioids may require their own dedicated assays.

• Opiates Natural opioid compounds such as morphine and codeine detected in blood.

• A clinician needs to assess recent opiate exposure using blood.
• A medical setting requires rapid opioid screening.
• You take a prescribed opiate and circulating levels are in question.
• A toxicology evaluation includes opiates among the requested screens.

• No fasting is required for this blood screen.
• Report all opioid and pain medications you take, prescribed or otherwise.
• Mention cough syrups containing codeine.
• Continue prescribed medicines unless a healthcare provider advises otherwise.

A negative blood opiate screen suggests opiates were not detected above the cutoff at collection. Because blood clears these compounds relatively quickly, a negative result does not rule out earlier use. A positive screen may reflect prescribed codeine or morphine, or it can be a cross-reaction, so confirmation is often advised. Discuss the result with a healthcare provider before acting on it.
