I have been on methadone for 8 years and while it may take a while to "adjust" to it, you can absolutely work on it. I would suggest not to mention it to anyone while on the job, though. Once again, i am not a pharmacist, nor do i have any pharmacological training, so, be careful out there!

Can i take opiates during the transition from methadone to suboxone?

It is not recommended to take opiates during the transition from methadone to Suboxone. Doing so can lead to serious withdrawal symptoms and complications due to the way Suboxone works, as it contains buprenorphine, which can precipitate withdrawal if taken too soon after methadone. It's crucial to work with a healthcare provider to manage the transition safely and effectively. Always follow medical advice for medication changes.

Can you get the sack from your work for testing positive for methadone?

Methadone, does not show up on normal drug tests, that test for opiates. I was drug tested by the state for legal reasons, and methadone did not show up. Most employers drug tests would not detect methadone. Methadone is a synthetic opiate, and unless a specific test is done for blood serum levels of methadone, it will not show up. I have also given urine samples for jobs, and methadone does not show up, EVER!!!


What does methadone read as in a drug test?

Unfortunately, < Methadone > registers as an opiate, It will show A DIRTY result. THE one giving the drug test should be made aware of Methadone use. Because the nature of Methadone use is that it is prescribed to bring a Heroin user to safely Kick or stop using Heroin. For if the user is to stop abruptly, it more than likely cause a fatality the cannot handle the abruptiveness. Of course the shock and pain is quite strong.
