Drug screens generally check for the following classifications of drugs: barbiturates, amphetamines, cocaine, opiates, and THC. Methadone is not an opiate, and so it should not be a problem. However, if for some bizarre reason this company does pay the extra money to screen for the methadone, then remember this: if the person taking the physical is a recovering addict who's receiving methadone from a treatment center, then that person is under a doctor's care. I don't see how or why they could or would hold that against someone.

Standard drug tests include one for opiates, so any significant amount of methadone in a blood or urine sample would produce a positive result, but so would a similar quantity of codeine or dextromethorphan. Most drug tests are generic, e.g. benzodiazepines in general rather than diazepam or clordiazepoxide.
Why doesnt methadone metabulite show up in my drug screen when i take it as prescribed?
Methadone is metabolized primarily in the liver, and its metabolites may not be detected by standard drug screens, which are often designed to identify only specific substances. Additionally, the sensitivity and specificity of the drug test being used can affect whether methadone or its metabolites are detected. Some tests may not include methadone in their panel, while others may not be sensitive enough to pick up lower concentrations of the drug or its metabolites. If you're concerned, it's best to discuss this with your healthcare provider or the testing facility.

Methadone typically shows up as an opiate in a standard urine toxicology screen. However, because it is a synthetic opioid, it may not always be detected in the same way as natural opiates like morphine or codeine.

If you are undergoing a toxicology screening, it's essential to inform the testing facility of any medications you are taking.
