Testing exists to ensure that methadone patients are actually taking their medication and not selling it on the black market.
I'd like to elaborate on the above answer. Testing for Methadone assures that patients are taking their medications because most people that are taking Methadone are on a previous medication that is causing the withdrawal alot of Methadone users will sell the drug to get their drug of choice. Also they want to make sure the user is not abusing the drug by taking too much.
Yes, because they want to make sure you are not "double dipping", meaning that you are going to multiple clinics at the same time. Most methadone clinics are more concerned about you being on methadone than any other drug when you first arrive.
The drugs that are usually included on a test at a methadone clinic are: Methadone, Opiates, Marijuana, Cocaine, Propoxyphenes, Benzodiazepines, Alcohol, and Amphetamines.
Methadone, Opiates, Propoxyphenes, Cocaine, Marijuana, Alcohol, and Amphetamines.
Only methadone will show up on a methadone test because it is specifically used for methadone detection.
Methadone clinics test for a variety of drugs including opiates, benzodiazepines, THC, cocaine, amphetamines, barbiturates, and sometimes alcohol.
Yes, methadone clinics always test for drugs.
Mostly urine analysis nowadays. Some still doe oral swabs but most of them will give urines.
not all methadone clinics test for marijuana
No, methadone clinics usually do not test for flexeril.
Yes they detect differently. I know that some drug tests require a seperate, specific test to detect methadone (and it shows up as methadone).
Probably Not. They do not test for it on drug screenings.
Yes, drug tests look at metabolites, and since both forms contain methadone hydrochloride, the drug test will be positive for methadone metabolites.
Easy, they don't generally care about marijuana at methadone maintenance clinics.
No, because the test isn't looking for methadone. It's looking for the metabolic products of methadone, which you only get by actually taking the stuff.
No
Yes there is a methadone clinic in savannah, tn. That is my home town and there clinic is located on their main strip.
if your in a methadone clinic i would stop taking all drugs and get your life together
Probably the clinic on 436 towards 50
Not at this time, there is a Dr. trying to open a clinic, but Covington has fought just about every Methadone treatment in every way.
they can't tell. the only way you can measure the levels of methadone currently flowing through your system would be a blood test. they just make sure that you're taking your methadone - not how much.
