How do you pass a drug test on methadone?

Answer 1

Methadone does not show up in a basic opiate test that is part of the standard pre-employment drug test and which can detect heroin, codeine and morphine (and perhaps oxycodone, hydrocodone, and dilaudid). A Methadone specific test must be performed to detect Methadone. This test is not uncommon and is part of the second tier "extended" test done by many companies.

Answer 2

Detection period by Methadone 1-12 days (urine test )/ up to 90 days (hair test). Everyone is different and they take in to consideration your type test, activity levels, weight, height and amount of use.

Answer 3

It depends on whether or not your on a methadone clinic. At the clinic they test for methadone and opiates, and morphine is a opiate so you will come out positive. If for probation, a job, parole, etc. they test for opiates and either way it will come out positive for opiates, but they will not know which one unless they take a more extensive test.

Answer 4

No. A drop of Methadone that has not been metabolized through your body will be in different concentrations and chemical forms than methadone that has gone through your system. This will not fool a drug test.

Answer 5

Methadone has a very long half life compared to most opioids (24-36hrs) but you should be fine after 4 days for a drug test depending on how much you took.

Answer 6

Don't take drugs that you do not have legitimate prescriptions for.
