First, get a hair test and specify for 6 months. You might need a bit of a hair trim prior to that (some estimates are that 6 months equals 2 inches of hair). Also, if it was a dipstick test, it is worthless. Just had one give bad results today.
Second, there are some known things that test positive for narcotics but even more unknown things (like in food). Poppyseed test positive. They stay in the body for a short time. See if they can run the metabolites also. Codeine breaks down to morphine and heroin overlaps in the metabolites but if you look at the total list of metabolites you can distinguish between which drug or if no drug was present.
