How long will it take methadone to clean out of your system to pass a urine drug test?

Like many drugs the amount of time it takes before a particular drug is no longer detectable in urine depends on the quantity of drug taken "X" multiplied by the number of days of continuuous use "Y". Just to keep it simple the average person can ingest methadone ( usually by orally drinking it ) and produce a clean urine in 72 hours.

∙ 15y agoMethadone is an opiate-type drug, and being water-soluble may stay in the body about 3 days. Longer than other opiates like heroin, morphine, demerol or hydrocodone, because its stereoisomer resists metabolism and therefore stays in the system longer than the relatively few hours for the other similar drugs. Of importance is that different drug triage detection equipment may vary in their detection sensitivity minimum levels. This basically means that a person might pass detection using one machine, while another machine would still be able to pick up smaller residual amounts of metabolites of the methadone. Probably best to wait a week.

∙ 13y agoIt depends on what's being tested for, and how rigorous the test. When I was my ship's legal officer in the navy, the standard was that we would rather have 2000 guilty people pass the whiz quiz than have one innocent guy test positive for substance use. For a number of opiates, the breakdown products can be detected for a month. That doesn't mean that you'll have enough in your system to be flagged as a user. It depends on the standards set for the test.
On the other hand, if you're asking how long you'll feel the effects, I can't help you. But for me a 5mg percoset (which I use rarely) wears off in 6 hours.

Height, weight, metabolism, and diet can all effect the amount of time methadone is in the body. But from past experience, a dose of 20mg's taken for 3 days was detected 6 days later. Methadone is a very long-acting and long lasting opiate that is stored deep in your muscle and tissues.
