Question by tgfann: Methadone use question ?
My sister has been acting very strange for about 2 years now, since she got together with her current boyfriend (who the WHOLE family HATES). She’s tired all the time, falls asleep talking to you even standing up! I know they boyfriend used to do heroin because we found old newspaper articles about him being arrested for possession … at least 3 times that we know of. The most recent was May 2006. And he went to jail for 8 months for that one.

Today, my sister’s son asked me what methadone is. He said mom and (her boyfriend) take it. Long story short … She’s not (and never has been) in any kind of drug program. He’s not either, as far as we know. So where do they get it from? Is this something you can buy “on the street”?    Read more...

Google “6 panel urine drug test” and look for same model your PO used.

Answer by Blibstodge
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.
I don’t know about Qtpie but I am the guy in the lab doing these tests and methadone is lumped togehther with all opiates. There is no way to separate them    Read more...

Answer by sarge927
Yes, methadone and methadose show up as positive for heroin. That’s why most drug labs will retest such a sample using radio-immuno-assay (RIA) or gas chromatography – mass spectrometry (GC/MS), or both, to get a definitive result.
