Will Lortab/Hydrocodone show up on a drug test?
Hydrocodone is an opioid. If it shows up as anything, it will show up as heroin, but that doesn’t stay in the body very long. Heroin is rapidly metabolised to morphine, which has a half-life of about 3 hours (i.e. it takes your body about 3 hours to dispose of half of the amount). Hydrocodone’s half-life is only slightly longer. As long as you have a doctor’s prescription for the drug, you should be fine. Or, of course, you could do the decent thing by everyone and REFUSE TO TAKE THE DRUG TEST! What you do while off the clock is none of your employer’s business. If you’re obviously too stoned to work, they can always send you home.
