Has Anyone Used These Home Drug Tests? How Accurate Are They? Testing for Methadone..?

Question by stuckinyourheart: Has anyone used these home drug tests? How accurate are they? Testing for Methadone..?
I got a First Check 12 panel drug test.. I am testing for Methadone. It is Wednesday today, the last time I took Methadone was Monday. I have a drug test for Pretrial today. I have until 4pm to report. I have given 2 dirtys in a row for Percocet. I took the methadone because it helps me get off the perks, and i have been doing okay.. I havn’t had any withdrawals at all. If I give another dirty I will get locked up. I didn’t think I would have to report until Friday so now I’m a little worried. The kit says methadone takes 1-3 days to get out of your system, but I’ve heard 3-6 days.. so I don’t know.
