How Long Does Methadone Stay In Your System?
(Newest posts first)

Is methadone completly out of your system in 72 hours, or does it take longer since methadone seems to last longer that 4 - 6 hours?

For blood testing....

Methadone and Oxycodone are usually detectable for approximately 6 hours.

This information, however, is only relevant for blood testing, the times are different for urine, hair and saliva.

This is also not the same as the time it takes to process completely out of your body.

Are there any other questions or comments?

Thats not exactly true. I take 10mg methadone 3x daily and I took 2 blood test and showed no methadone in my system. Which made my doctor wonder but when I did a U/A it was positive for meth,

Although the metabolism of drugs will vary somewhat from one individual to another, the usual period of detection of methadone by a urine drug screen is 5-7 days. Therefore, you should be fine for a test performed in 2 weeks. (This was the reply I just received online and asked this question to a dr. and that was his response to my question?Here is my question to him. I had taken 40 mgs of methadone today. This was the only day I took the methadone. Tomorrow I start back on my oxy's 40 mgs that I have been taking for years but ran out, thats why I took the methadone. I have a urine test in 2 weeks.

It took me 3 months to kick methodone. After that, I had paws for another 4 months. Don't get started on that evil stuff unless you plan to stay on it for life. It's by far the worst withdrawl ever. Beware, you have been warned. Take Suboxone or subutex instead. I can't stress this enough. I wouldn't wish methodone withdrawl on my worst enemy. I went to treatment for one month to kick it. I was twice as sick after my 30 days were up. I had to go straight to a halfway house. Don't, Don't, Don't, Don't, add infintinum

Although your system can rid itself of the methadone within about 72 hours in most cases, traces of it will still be detected in your urine for up to 3 weeks...longer if you get a blood test.
