You got the drug name right. Supposedly it contains an ingredient (neutralizer) that prevents people from getting any results, such as a high or energy rush, if they take other opiates while they are taking it. I think this also applies to lortab addiction. Since it is an opiate, that just does not have the same side effects as other opiates, it also prevents withdrawals. But yes, it is still an opiate and will show up on such tests as one. It is used as an alternative to Methadone. Some people get nothing from it and some say it is a miracle drug.
