Yes it sure does. Methadone is an opiate the same thing that is the main ingredient of heroine and morphine and Oxycontin even Vicodin.
They will all be listed as opiates without differentiating them.
So if you took a little Methadone and little VIcodin and a little Heroine. It all adds up under OPIATES.
It is very hard to get past a urine test for opiates.

If they screen for opiates, then they would show up and it all will tell them is you have opiates in your system. If you have a legitimate reason for taking these and a doctor’s prescription, I cannot see any reason why they would not hire you, unless they don’t want someone who is taking pain medication working for them. Good luck.    Read more...
