Long-term opioid use can cause a serious condition where the adrenal glands don't work properly, which doctors should watch out for.
research Ocfentanil testing in hair from a fatality case: Comparative analysis of a lock of hair versus a single hair fiber
Both a lock of hair and a single hair strand can show chronic drug use, but at least six single hairs are needed for accurate results.
research ODP056 The Treatment of Opioid Addiction Leading to Secondary Adrenal Insufficiency
Long-term treatment with buprenorphine/naloxone for opioid addiction may lead to secondary adrenal insufficiency.
