I will be going for a job interview at some point next week, more than likely it will be early in the week ( in about 3 days) today i took 4 10mg methadone pills. It will be a saliva test that i have to take, how long will the drug be detectable in a saliva test?

I'm no expert, I can only speak from experience and I was drug tested for a job yesterday and it was specifically marked as methadone was one of the things tested for (on paper at least) and I take 80mg per day everyday and I passed it no questions asked. I don't know how and I don't know if they mark it to try to scare you into admitting to something but 100% passed.
I do know that places have to do a specific and specialized test to detect it and I'm guessing they don't want to pay up for it but expect by making sure you see that it's on the list that you will tell someone.
I don't know about how many people get this for pain management but I know for me and everyone I know it's for addiction treatment and I'm definitely not going to apply for a job and admit to drug abuse without them managing to find it first.

Don't rat yourself out!!

I have been taking liquid methadone for 5+years and have taken 100mg that entire time. I recently stopped using it and during that time had many urine screens at the methadone clinic I attended. I assure everyone that the test must test specific for methadone for it to show up in urine or saliva. I don't know detection times but I quit cold turkey and know I felt my body detoxing for 10+ days. No methadone and norcos do not show up as barbiturates and aren't even the same. Methadone is a synthetic opioid and norcos are an opiate.

That is not true. I just had a saliva test a week ago and I had methadone and Percocet in my system and the methadone showed up.

Robin, it was an oral mouth swab you took 3x for 9 months or urine? You say you dropped and that makes me think urine I need to know about an oral mouth swab.

Yes Julie I'm sorry but it will show as it is a synthetic opiate it shows up as methadone itself. A friend took 2 -10mg methadone and ten days later still showed positive. Although some blogs or posts will say things such as 5-7 days it can actually be detected for a much much longer period. My friend learned this lesson the hard way and seriously regrets it. Hope this helps

Yes it can I took two 10mg methadone on a Wednesday and tested the following Tuesday and was just informed I failed for methadone. A friend told me you can put lister one strips under your tounge right before testing and have a significant chance of passing. I make no promise however he did pass in a shorter timeframe than me. Hope this helps

Hi Daphne,

I'm 95% sure your screen will show positive for methadone..IF you have a legit prescription, tell them now..Methadone stays in the body a longer time than some other narcotics; 50Mg would prob show up for at least 10 days..at least that's been my experience..and no amount of drinking anything will purge it..good luck
