Yes they can tell the difference in Methadone and hydrocodone Methadone has to be tested separately in a test it is not on the 5 panel test. Hydrocodone however is an opiate and will show up as an opiate. Methadone is a synthetic opiate and is in a class all of its own. Methadone tricks the brain into thinking that its still has heroin/opiates in the body it works the same in the brain. So to answer your question they would have to test separate for methadone. It is two totally different drug classes.
I personally don't think on a dipstick they can. Methadone is still an opiate. I took it for years with loracet and never saw the dr tell a difference. Sorry to tell ya.

Will methodone make you test positive for methamphetamines?
No. Methadone is an opiate. Methamphetamine is an amphetamine. Totally different drug classes. But Methadone WILL make you test positive for opiates in general (i.e. morphine, heroin, oxycontin, etc.)
How do you use Oxycontin to withdrawal from methadone?
You Don't. You are simply trading one opiate for another. Also, that would be incredibly pointless. There is a reason Drug programs offer METHADONE to get off of opiates and NOT oxycontin. That reason is simple, 1. Methadone lasts much longer than OxyContin and has much less euphoric effects, which helps people function better. 2, Methadone is MUCH cheaper than OxyContin and much more accessible, like at clinics. It makes absolutely no sense to take something even more powerful than the substance you are trying to withdrawal from (meaning OxyContin is much stronger in its euphoric effect). The best thing to do to withdrawal from methadone would be to taper off slowly like they do it at methadone clinics. But if you are switching drugs for pain management (going from methadone to Oxycontin), you will not really experience withdrawal symptoms. You will just feel slightly uncomfortable at first as your body makes the adjustment.
Jane is on a suboxone detox program for Oxycontin addition. She now wants to change to methadone. Could she be doing this to give herself logical explanation for positive drug test for opiates?
She would test positive for opiates on soboxone. Methadone has to be tested for specifically ......................... No SUboxone will NOT show up positive for opiates. It, like methadone, has to be specifically tested for. but if she was on a program I'm sure that they tested for everything. These drug test are not your normal "drug screen" they can tell the difference between hydrocoden, oxy, Suboxone, methadone, Ambian, just about anything. they also can test the level of each drug, "how much is in her system." so it is very likely that she could have failed a screen. I know some people switch to methadone because the suboxone doesn't always take care of the cravings and methadone does a better job because it is a full agonist. "works better"
