Question by Answering: can someone tell me how the methadone clinics work?

Best answer:

Answer by penpallermel
They were addicts; heroin, morphine and prescription pain medication. Now patients at a local methadone clinic, these once addicted men and women can “go back home”. They can go to school and go to work and participate in life without the incapacitating aspects of narcotics such as Morphine, OxyContin® or other opiate based drugs such as heroin and Percocet.

Methadone treatment is the beginning of a new life. A life free from the once, twice, and three times a day doses of heroin and other opiates that it would take just to feel “normal”. Withdrawal is often painful, but with methadone treatment withdrawal symptoms and cravings for opiates diminish. The ability to focus on life’s daily activities, goals and family are restored. You DO get your life back.    Read more...

Usually is Hydrocodone and when it is really bad Percocet. I was wondering if they look for this on pre-employment drug screens or not? If they do or it shows up if I have written permission-reasoning from my doctor can they or would they refuse employment to me? I would hope not but I wanted to ask. Thank you in advance.:)

Answer by RoRo
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...
