Methadone Clinic And Drug Testing (Page 7) (Top voted first)

Updated

I just started going to the methadone clinic about 4 weeks ago. I used to be a very heavy drug user, Heroin and pills were my life. When I took my initial drug test at the clinic I asked them if my marijuana levels were really high, and they told me they don't test for marijuana. I live in Texas. Does anyone know what kind of drug test they are using and exactly what they test for? I thought on all standard drug tests, they test for THC. Also I mistakenly took a 1mg football mistaking it for an aleve. In highschool i used to put them in aleve bottles. My mom just moved and the bottle was up in the medicine cabinet in the new house. OOPS. When I started feeling extremely relaxed, it clicked at what I had just ingested. This was 10 days ago today. The clinic tested me this morning. I'm not very familiar with this drug test and what exactly they are looking for. I used to work in a treatment center (before relapsing) and the addictionologist told me that klonopin can be detected for up to 2 weeks, but it has a MUCH MORE SIGNIFICANT longer half life than xanax. I'm just looking for some people's feedback that are familiar with the clinic and the drug testing there. I AM VERY AWAY THAT IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO MIX BENZOS WITH METHADONE. It has taken several of my friend's lives. No one has to tell me that, I have experienced it first hand. It was an honest mistake but if I come up positive, there is NO WAY my counselor will believe that. What do drug addicts do... con and lie to people. I'd appreciate any feedback people can give me.

Not all Xanax footballs are blue there are peach and white ones as well. Don't you ppl have google? Look at the RX sights not blogs if you want real answers.

Thats all there is around here, is blue football shaped 1mg xanax. She said she used to put them in an aleve bottle....Did you read the entire post? Most likely, the answer is no, or you forgot what you read....

You need to at least have something in your system if not opiates, otherwise their not gonna know why you think you need to be on methadone. I don't know if just having weed in your system would be good enough, I'm not sure, but yea you need to have something in your system when you go into the clinic, and they will watch you when you pee, or at least they do at my clinic.

I take Klonipin everyday. only about a 1/4 of a 1 mg tab just to keep it in my system so i don't go through withdrawal. I was drug tested for a job and it did NOT test positive for benzos. I couldn't believe it.

I go to the methadone clinic and for the first time ever I came up positive for cocaine. I slipped up and I'm back on track. I'm worried they are going to discharge me. Does anyone know what their procedure is?

I am going to a clinic to start MT tomorrow and the receptionist told me that I did not have to test positive. She is aware I've been taking kratom for withdrawals. You can't fake being a long term opiate addict. ..

I've been in mmt for a few yrs & I'm currently going down. I love my counselor & I've been to every rehab and treatment there is. Nothing worked, mostly bc I wasn't ready. I told my counselor from the start I would not lie & be straight up about everything bc this was my last chance at life. I suggest you be upfront and real. They can't help you if you aren't up front. If you don't have much fat & you only took 1, likely you are okay, but you will earn more trust & self accountability if you're real with them. Good luck & wish you the very best

@jessie-- I know this is an old post but please be truthful in your post. There's NOT a clinic in the world that tells you when they will test you. Being truthful will help others with answers to facts v.s non-fact.

Coke is like marijuana in that one dose will disappear in a few days, but chronic coke use takes about 2 weeks to clear up.

If you're a client at a Methadone Clinic, how many different drugs do they test you for? They never fully tell you all of them.

They don't test any UA for alcohol. They use breathalyzers. My friend is an alcoholic and he has to take one very single time he doses.

Stop repeating old habits of medicating yourself with medications that you know could show up in your drug screen and you will have a clear picture of your drug screen before it is processed through the proper staff and returned to your Counselor. If you continue to take other meds and you know what they are when you take them! Then your not trying to recover you are just playing games.
