annual Drug abuse blood test

[econoweb]

My doctor has scheduled blood work including a drug abuse test. He says it is a required annual test (I'm thinking because I'm prescribed  some controlled substances). My question is: how long is codeine detectable in a blood test?

1-3 blood 2-4 urine.

I get tested monthly and I would love to only do yearly!  That doesn't ease your concern though, I know. Best of luck k!

Gosh I thought having to do a urine sample was bad every 6 months or so. But a blood draw would be nerve racking. Stupid government and insurance regulations are just annoying. It's funny how the government even has a say in how you receive health care. One bad test and your labeled for life. But yah for blood tests I'd spend extra time before going in and thinking your in the clear. I always felt like it stayed in your system longer with blood. But it's been a long time since I've had a panel done.
