Brief Answer:
Is that a week or more?

Detailed Answer:
that souns9 like 6 days , the is a bit optimistic if they're doing the right test

fortunately the WRONG TEST is ten times cheaper and might not detect suboxone if you took it 6 hrs before!
the standard urine dipstick for heroin won't detect those reliably


check it tomorrow with an over the counter test

the good testing with high sensitivity will likely be positive at 6 days
