I have Hepatitis C and I haven't been on drugs now for over 2 months, I am currently at the methadone clinic, scence I've been there I have no appetite, I only eat Kit-Kats and drink hot Cocoa like all day, every day. Now I still currently am getting Dirty urines at the clinic its still says I have opiates in my system. why is this? and how do I get information about this to give to my family and my dhhs case manager? all these people think now that I have been lying about not doing drugs, and now are thinking I've been doing them. because of the dirty urines what can I do? I'm going to loose my kids and they are everything to me I've done a complete turn around for my kids and now with this its all going to get shut down! please someone help me with some information?!?!?

Methadone is NOT an opiate. It's a synthetic opioid not derived from morphine or codeine so it is without a doubt not the reason your failing for opiates . I know because I've been through it all before .

Yes, it depends on where you are being tested/if they are aware of you going to the clinic. Methadone clinics require drug tests they administer occasionally, as well as other people (P.O., doctor, etc.) being able to do this. This has happened to me before randomly at the methadone clinic I go to, and I have hepatitis C as well. But for all I know, it could have been either my Hep or a human error like a nurse testing someone else and putting it in as me. I wouldn't be terribly surprised, as they use numbers for ID of who you are. But by the average of numbers/probability, getting a positive on opiates (at the methadone clinic) is more likely to be caused by some catalytic factor such as Hep C or someone trying to f*** with you. It feels like the same thing sometimes though doesn't it? Note: I might also try drinking a little bit more water if you're feeling dehydrated (one of those side effect things)...

Batman lover, reply post 6
I know this is an older post but PLEASE DO NOT POST FALSE OR MISLEADING INFORMATION AS LORTAB IS NOT A BENZO!!!!!!!'
Hydrocodone the principal ingredient contained in Lortab belongs to the family of opiate/opiods derived from opium.It is by far the most widely abused narcotic pain medication in the America.When persons liberty and family connections are at stake it is imperative they recieve accurate valid information when they reach out for assistance in desperation.Im an intake supervisor at a reputable semi-private drug treatment center and this drug by far leads the pack in terms of abusable pharmaceutical substances.The reason it has become a cds scheduled ll drug.I hope this is helpful for those looking for information on hydrocodone like preparations.Regards

The false positive I got mentioned in my last post was over a year ago and I forgot to mention besides the Hep C I also have hypoglycemia that got a lot worse while I was homeless, so my blood sugar is kinda wonky... I really don't feel like it does any good to put blame on anyone if you are feeling hurt esp. in a situation like this, but we're only human, so of course the thoughts may come to us. I just actually got another false positive and I've been clean 2 yrs with a job and an apartment and going to support groups and counseling every week. It's not like I've been slacking, so it feels like a slap in the face. But all you can really do is advocate and breathe, and just take it day by day to do what you know is best for you. Keep moving forward the best you can. Success is the best revenge...

I have the exact same problem except I came up for marijuana. My therapist used to work at a clinic and twice she had good, clean clients come up dirty. She called the lab and pestered them until they followed the chain of custody and twice in 3 years they found it was human error at the lab. I should get my results today of my first swab since the dirty one and I am terrified. I haven't used anything at all in a year. I got my take homes suspended because of this. I am really upset, when you do everything right and work hard to get and stay clean you should NOT have to worry about failing a drug test because of some other person's mistake! And because we are addicts nobody really cares. When I came up dirty I refused to leave the building until they urined me, which was of course clean, and I had a clean swab 2 weeks before. THC stays in you for 30 days. But they STILL wouldn't do anything. I am afraid my Hep C may have caused it. I guess I will find out today. I have been going down 2 mgs per week since this happened. My only real solution is get off methadone and don't ever put my life in control of any place. I was totally clean before and much better off. Methadone has caused severe depression and I need to get off it anyway. But your false test could have been lab error. Maybe someone at your clinic will care enough to have the lab track the chain of custody. Good luck, nobody at mine would bother.

Recently im at the methadone clinic due to opiate use (mostly heroin) I finally was able to get off all opiates for the first time in 2-3 years.. I tested negative 3 weeks in a row for everything then a positive for opiates and I never used for a month prior.no reason to lie here, no legal issues or any other reason to lie. I do have hep c though but don't think it should make anything like positive drug screen....
