Methadone in drug test

Answer 1

Methadone is a synthetic opioid, and does not show up on a normal 5 panel drug test (THC/COC/OPI/MET/AMP). It does NOT test as a regular opiate. The tester will tell you what drugs are being tested for. Have a letter ready from your doctor/clinician just in case they do test for Methadone, so they know it has been prescribed by a medical professional. Remember, if you are on Methadone and a company decides to NOT hire you because of it, this is in direct violation to the Americans with Disabilities act (unless you have taken it illegally).

Answer 2

In urine test, methadone can be detected from 3-5 days, but that is something that is individual, can vary from person to person, from test to test, and it also can depend from the amount of the taken drug. But, in my opinion I think that is best for him to inform the people from HR team about his problem, because the best way to get job is sometimes just to be honest. Best luck!......

okay, first of all you are NOT required to tell any employer you are on methadone. Infact, most companies do not test for it because finding it may lead to discrimination of the individual taking it. THey have to do a special test to find methadone. You can tell them about the methadone if you want, but you are intitled to your privacy as anyone else. I do not know where you are from , but the chances of them being able to test for methadone in ones system is rare unless they are specifically looking to find it. It costs the company more money as well to test for this hidden drug so to speak, and we all know how cheap our employers are aye? just kidding about the cheap part. But I rellllllly dont think he would have had to stop taking it, they wouldnt test for it I am almost possitive. Oh, about 72 hours the methadone is in system, that is why withdrawl does not usually show its ugly head until about the third day without it. Good Day. Kristie

Answer 3

Again methadone is a synthetic opioid not an opiate so it has to be specifically tested for... Put it this way if your on parole or probation or being tested by department of child services or child protective services... Yes, they will and do test for it... If its for a job it depends if they send it to a lab to be fully analyzed or if they just dip the cheap little 4-6 panel strip in... If its the latter your okay...

Answer 4

Methadone is a synthetic opiate that requires its own specific test. Therefore, it will only show up as methadone.

Answer 5

It shows as methadone.
