Question by Biking in 209: What kind of drug test shows a positive test for heroin/methadone?
My ex-wife is a heroin addict who is in methadone “treatment”. She is coming after my children that I have had 75% custody of since the seperation. She has told the court that she is in treatment, but family and friends state that she is currenty back on heroin and maybe abusing her methadone. My problem is that the county court’s drug test is a hair test and only shows up “opiates”. My lawyer is convinced that no other test will work. I am desperate to find a test that will either show heroin and methadone seperate, or will show she’s abusing her doses. This woman walked out of her family’s life and five years later has no job, income, and has another child out of wedlock. I have three children that are scared to death to be with her, and when they do, they always come back emotionally scarred. Please help! Thanks    Read more...

Question by TheseBlueEyesWillBreakYourHeart: How easy is it to obtain a prescription for Methadone?

Someone dear to me has just passed away. He was a cocaine addict and experienced a lot of back pain. After he died I found out he had been taking Methadone for 3 days. He had more than 100 pills prescribed by his doctor. He basically just stopped breathing in his sleep and his heart failed. Why would his doctor prescribe him Methadone when a simple blood test would confirm he occasionally takes drugs? I thought patients on Methadone were monitored not handed hundreds of pills…
