Study Summary

The purpose of this research is to determine if common medications for opioid use disorder (i.e., buprenorphine/naloxone, buprenorphine, methadone) and their metabolites (norbuprenorphine \[a metabolite of buprenorphine\], buprenorphine-3-glucuronide \[B3G; a metabolite in buprenorphine\], ethylidene dimethyl diphenyl pyrrolidine \[EDDP; a metabolite of methadone\]) can be detected in the dermal interstitial fluid (i.e., fluid extracted from the surface of the skin). Additional subjects who are not prescribed or taking any of these medications will be included in this study to act as a comparison group

Primary Outcome

ISF collected from the surface of the skin along with blood plasma by venipuncture will be tested for methadone using LC-MS analysis.
