If at all possible, try suboxone or kratom instead. Methadone is even harder to quit than heroin, with withdrawal effects that can last months or years. You may be on it your whole life, and there may be times when you can't get it for whatever reason -- in which case you will suffer greatly.

Does probation urinalysis test for methadone?

Drug courts as well as general district, circuit courts, etc., can test for methadone, suboxone, subutex, and the "regulars". These include, marijuana, cocaine, methamphetimine, benzodiazapines, etc. If you are taking methadone and preparing to go to any kind of court, you should be ready to stop. Depending on your sentence, you may be put on probation. In this case you can be tested for any of the above drugs at any time. I was on methadone maintenance and was ordered to stop it by the court because i was on probation. I did not heed the courts request and it almost put me in prison for 3 years. I got lucky.
