How Long Do Opiates Stay In Your System While On Methadone?

Updated

I am on 70mg of methadone daily. Before I was on methadone heroin would only last in my system 2 days, 3 days at the most and that's only if I barely drank water and spent those days in bed. Now that I'm on methadone it's not that easy. Unfortunately, I have used heroin again and am due for a urine screen soon. I just need to know if I need to hold off the UA for one more day or a whole week. The last time this happened I had 4 days clean before the UA with lots of water and exercise in between and it still came up hot. Is there any reason why my body doesn't metabolize opiates as quickly anymore? Please, if anybody has any answers, I'd be grateful.

The combination of Methadone + Heroin is like a double dose of opiates. This may be why your body struggles to rid itself of one or the other at what was once considered to be a normal rate.

Generally, Heroin can be detected in your urine for up to 2-4 days after your last dose, and Methadone can be detected in your urine for up to 6-12 days after your last dose. It seems as though taking them together hinders these time-frames.

I've Been on 77 mils of methadone. I've have 5carries and I do not take them. I've been on this methadone since june2013. I'm done. Tired of liquid opioids. I use to shoot Herion. So I went on the drink so I didn't hurt like hell now I'm taking my 5 carries and pouring them in a jar. I'm afraid cuz 5days no drink then I gotta drink 2 days in front of them. My friends say I'm gonna die. Gonna drop what do you think?

I've tested positive for heroin after 7 days of not using and I'm in 70mg of methadone. I'm beside myself over that. I used to b able to test clean after 6 days while on 70mg m-done. Mayb my clinic changed its testing, I don't know why I wasn't negative. Any theories??

If I quit taking methadone about 3 weeks ago and have been using heroin for 2 weeks, when I go through the heroin withdrawals will the methadone withdrawals be over? Also I stopped taking methadone at 4mg

I feel your pain. On methadone and if I use it takes a week plus to clean out. We get tested weekly and a lot of times if I use I get screwed for two weeks of dirty urines not fair but my fault for using heroin what burns my ass though is that you tell them you have not used for a week or more and they tell you bulls*** it doesn't stay in your system for more than three days. Not sure where they get their education but they are surely misinformed everyone's body is different. Just sucks I make the same mistakes as everyone else and get in trouble double time.

I'm on 60mgs of methadone daily. I did a bundle worth in one shot 2 days ago. How long before my ua only shows methadone?

You are NOT going to die. Relax. Methadone doesn't enter the bloodstream as quickly as heroin so your chance of overdose isn't as great. Be sure to drink plenty of water after you get dosed though. That will help your body flush some of the methadone instead of metabolizing.

I take 77mgs of methadone and was dirty almost 5 days later I've been on methadone for a year so heroine stays in your system way longer.

It definitely stays in your system way longer when you are on methadone, I know from experience I tested like 10 days after my last use an still dirty but my question is how can I rid the toxins as fast as I can ?

I'm in that boat. Im on 65 mg methadone and it took 12 days to get a clean ua from heroin. I messed up and used one time on Wednesday and I'm drinking a bunch of coffee and cranberry juice but I'm in ftc and will be so f'ed if I fail. I have randoms 2x week and the earliest it would be is tues that I'm tested cuz of the holiday. Any other ideas on how I can clear out my system quickly?

Yeah its cuz they test for the matabalites in ur urine that get filted thriugh ur liver wen u take herion, even though ur clean of opiates, opiat matabalites will still be presant. So the new test have a window for opiats and a separate one for matabalites in urine this is wot remains after heroin has left ur system.

I just started the methadone program yesterday (Tuesday) the last time i did any heroin was monday night. Do you think the heroin will still be in my system by Friday afternoon?

Hi John!

Question- were you working out in between? Did you do anything special to help have a clean test?

I’m on 60mg of methadone and I used for 2 weeks straight, then stopped for 2 days, then used last night. I was only using about .5-1g a day for the 2 weeks and .5 last night. Have a UA on Thursday in afternoon. I’m worried.

Any reply is appreciated!!

Probably not.... It usually takes 5-6 weeks..... Maybe just headaches, it won't be severe. Whatever you do, don't take a Suboxone. The Suboxone will block any methadone that is left in your system and send you straight into withdrawals.

I have not touched heroin in 3 years. Yesterday, I caved. Today I'm told that I need to take a U.A. This is from my husband. I'm pretty sure I can stall him because if I'm not mistaken, the order has to come from his lawyer. Anyhow, 3 yrs clean. Blew it today and am wondering how long it's detected in urine.
