It depends on the type of drug test you are referring too. Methadone is a purely synthetic Opioid which means that it differs muscularly from most other opioids. Structurally both methadone and propoxyphene are in the diphenylheptane class where as the naturally occurring opiates such as morphine or the semi-synthetic opiates (that can be derived from thebaine) such as oxycodone are characterized by the phenanthrene class. Now, usually if this if for a work situation then you will be sent to a physician; so depending on what the purpose of this test is, you can ask the physician what they are testing for and even ask for the complete list of drugs that are being examined. Now, if you are receiving methadone as a palliative care patient from an M.D./D.O. or are part of a federally mandated NTP and you know that methadone if being tested for you can disclose that you are being prescribed methadone and you are then protected under the A.D.A. (Americans with Disabilities Act) as opioid dependence disorder is a DSM-IV-TR disorder and if in a Federally mandated NTP the modifier of (in remission/receiving agonist treatment) can be added. If you are receiving it for pain then you can most probably qualify under a different component of the A.D.A. Unfortunately the stigma that currently exists among the general population (even among some physicians) predominantly because of lack of education of methadone pharmacology, individuals are hesitant to reveal to their employer that they are receiving replacement therapy as treatment for their brain disease.
So in short the answer would be sometimes yes and sometimes no. But if you are legitimately receiving methadone you should be protected by the A.D.A.
