Addicted to Pills... Please Reply
Posted: 03-22-05 01:28am

I am addicted to pills... Any kind really... I like the feeling you get. Especially ccc's and vicodin. The feeling kind of eases my pains and I don't worry about anything else while i'm on them. But i'm going for a job interview and am required to do a drug test... Ccc's and vicodin won't cause me to fail it right?






Please respond!!!

Hey malorie, how are you doing?

Most do not add all of these in their expanded test, but choose a different combination of 3 or 4 to add : hydrocodone (lortab, vicodin), benzodiazepines (valium, xanax, librium, serax, rohypnol), propoxyphene (darvon compounds). Most drug testing companies also offer an expanded test which includes a few additional drugs in the testing process.

Substance blood saliva sweat urine hair
codeine/morphine unknown 7-21 hrs unknown 2-4 days up to 90 days
cannabis (habitual use) 2 weeks 14 hrs unknown up to 12 wks up to 90 days

a description of what to expect from the standard tests, please visit

I don't mean to be rude, but you should really seek help. Employers screen for drug addicts, drug abusers, alcoholics because they don't want them as employees. Even if you do pass the screening, if hired and you get hurt on the job, worker's compensation will not pay for your injury because you were on drugs! You get tested upon arrival at the hospital upon injury. Now, I am not saying that you are going to get hurt, but if you are addicted to pain pills the chances of you getting hurt definately go up. Plus, taking pain pills on a regular basis causes all kinds of health problems. I just would hate to see you suffer for the rest of your life because you didn't stop a problem before it got too bad. Please get help!

Oh, and p.S most employers only do a urine test because the cost of anything else is way too expensive. But, if a trace of something is found in your urine then they may require a blood test. If you aren't going to pass your best bet is to not go and get tested. This way when you are clean, you can reapply and have a chance of getting hired.
