I am not 100% sure, but I recently started using the patches and after researching them quite a bit I think that they will show up in a screen as an opiate. I know that the main ingrediant in Butran is buprenorphine, a drug they use to ween opiate addicts off of their drug of choice (vicodin, lortab, meth, etc....). I used the bup a few years ago to get off lortab and it worked great. However, the doctor only gave it to me for about 6 weeks and then weened me off of it because it is also a form of an opiate. Therefore, I think that it does show up as an opiate in a drug screen, even though it is a "good" opiate-based medication that is used to help drug addicts through withdrawal.
