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!

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.
