Any test for opiates will show positive for methadone, which is an opiate. Any drug test worth administering tests for opiates. Therefore...
*************Dead wrong! Unless they test specifically for methadone, it will not show up. Methadone is a narcotic agonist, a different type of drug, while still being an opioid.
NEW RESPONSE I ANSWERED THIS ON THE 29th OF OCTOBER 2009.
I'm not sure who the bone head was that typed in the first response but they are 100% WRONG. The second answer is correct, (I actually should have typed the first answer, since I cannot consider that first response an answer LOL anyhow that is neither here nor there) back to your question....
If the tester is testing specifically for methadone then it will show up yes but you have to be testing for it. Every other drug will show up under its category as opium which would be Oxycontin/percocet, cocaine, benzoids which is things like lorazapam, they are Valiums (downers) there is also a slot for morphine. If you take anything that has codeine in it such as Tylenol #1,2,3 or 4 you will get a positive result for morphine. The reason for this is that your body cannot digest/process straight codeine so it turns itself into morphine first then it is able to digest it. This was news to me as well when my doctor told me, I had no idea!!
Anyhow none of the regular drug slots will show methadone, it has to be specifically tested for. I hope this helps you out. Good luck with your test if you have to take one......
