Methadone Clinic And Drug Testing (Page 7)
(Newest replies 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.

I have to answer this For people who trust what they read--RE:FEETFRIED

Benzos will stay 6 weeks or 42 days in a person whom uses benzos on a regular basis. 72 hours in a clean system(meaning never a benzo) yes maybe then it would not show but depends on eating,drinking,exercising,fat cells--all of the above. And if you use a benzo once in a while, say 2-3 times a week, the half life can and will keep you positive for weeks. I don't care whom you want to believe but wouldn't you rather believe the guy whom is telling you the safest? I know first hand and second hand. and third if I had one. Also the more and more deaths from overdoses of methadone with benzos are starting to give people x amount of time to stop taking benzos or you're out the door. I hope I save at least one person.

To Scott. You shouldn't be injecting your dose that's probably why it left your system faster than normal. Do a hair test it should be in there or find another doctor. I cant see any other reason why it wouldn't show up I'm on 235mgs a day at a clinic and it stays in a person's system a while but if your injecting it, it doesn't get.a chance to get into your fat cells. Take it the right way

@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.

Did it show up for you? I saw alot of sites say it takes 8-24 hours to leave your system, and my concern is I had a fever the other day my mom gave me what she thought was tylenol and well she said it have been vicodin. I am like a week a way from getting 6th takeout, and the day after I took the vicodin I was tested like 6-8 hours later so I am hoping I dont come back dirty..

To Verwon
I know that most generic xanax's are football shaped, they are round, but a certain pharmacy used to give me blue footballs that look similar to aleve. I used to pop them like pez so i'd put them in an aleve bottle and keep them in my purse at school so if i got caught with medication it would be something similar to tylenol and not a benzo. Somehow a bottle got put back in my mother's medicine cabinet and has been there for a while, because i graduated hs in 2004.

the doctor was checking for methadone specificly because i was perscibed it and vicoprophin laratab with ibuprphine on the back side for influmation .i also took 700mils of soma not perscribed and the found me clean as a new born . now in my medical record it says i eather sell my s**t or give it away. i have my two lower disks welded to my tail bone so money is hard to go out and earn but i do what i can and selling my life suport isn't in my book. i'm 53 and a little old school i would rather bust as- and feel i have good money not what my mom would call blood money

SAID I MUST BE SELLING IT OR GIVING IT AWAY AND SHUT ME OFF. HELP ME EXPLAIN. THEY SAY BODY FAT HELPS RETAIN IT AND I HAVE NO FAT. I ONLY EAT EVERY OTHER DAY, WORK MY A-- OFF IN THE HEAT AND DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS.

Most of these drug test look for controlled substances, so they will more than likely check for the Benzodiazepines.

However, if you only took one and several days passed, before the test, then you were probably clean.

My questions is, how did you mistake a Xanax for an Aleve? Are you saying your mother keeps them in an Aleve bottle? I know the pharmacy doesn't dispense them that way. Also, most Xanax footballs are not blue.

How did the drug test go?

thanks, i appreciate that. they made me test before they dosed me and you're right i know there aren't really any consequences. i just want to be able to get more take outs sooner, getting up at 4 in the morning is a pain in the ass. if ur dirty here, that will hinder take outs.

From what I see on your post you should not have any problem. I live in Texas also and at the Methadone Clinic I used there was not much of a problem with being dirty anyway. They didnt even require you be dirty with a opiate to get in the clinic. To my knowledge benzos only stay in your system about 72 hours.....I know that first hand. There was not a real problem with being dirty. Most attending a Methadone clinic are usually dirty from time to time anyway. Good Luck
