Someone told me the hair test does test for opiates but not synthetic opioids. hydrocodone is a synthetic opioid. they said the hair test only test for codeine, morphine, and a metabolite of heroin, all of which natural opiates break down to. they said hydrocodone and even oxycodone will not show up because they do not break down into morphine or any of these compounds in the body. is this true that they will not show on the hair drug test because they are synthetic opioids?

i know they can test for them and they will show if tested for, but i am asking if in the standard 5-panel hair test (marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine/mdma, opiate, and pcp), will synthetic or semi-synthetic opiods show positive for opiates?

nope, not true. all narcotics, synthetic or natural will indeed have markers left in the hair follicle.

Yes the things like hydrocodone show up on a hair follicle test.
