Methadone is a synthetic opioid, and does not show up on a normal 5 panel drug test (THC/COC/OPI/MET/AMP). It does NOT test as a regular opiate. The tester will tell you what drugs are being tested for. Have a letter ready from your doctor/clinician just in case they do test for Methadone, so they know it has been prescribed by a medical professional. Remember, if you are on Methadone and a company decides to NOT hire you because of it, this is in direct violation to the Americans with Disabilities act (unless you have taken it illegally).
