Hi,
Suboxone is a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone. Generally, buprenorphine and its metaboloite, nor-buprenorphine can be detected in urine for upto 3-4 days after last intake. However, depending on the test kit used, it can also be detected upto 7 days after last intake. The best way to confirm is to repeat the test after a coupe of days.
Hope the information was helpful.
