Methadone Drug Test for Opiates.

Methadone is a narcotic of the opiate group. It is used as a pain reliever and also to reduce the intensity of withdrawal symptoms in people trying to de addict from drugs such as heroin and others. The reason for the second application is that methadone does not cause the “high” associated with other drugs. All the same methadone is a narcotic. Although standard 5 panel drug tests do not include a drug test for methadone opiate, other tests like 9 panel test and extended opiate panel test include drug testing for methadone.

The “high” referred to here is a state of extreme optimism where the person feels as if he is in control of everything around him. This feeling is due to no apparent reason. During this phase there is an increase in the heart rate and a change in blood pressure. Certain areas of the brain are also activated producing the feeling. In all there is accelerated physical activity and speech and the person is more aggressive and prone to being violent. In the long run drug use leads to decrease in immunity and negatively affects the functioning of vital organs like brain, heart and lungs etc. Excessive or improper consumption of methadone does have negative effects. It slows down breathing and this, if it goes far, can cause death. A combination of methadone and alcohol is dangerous and can be fatal. The side effects include shallow breathing, hallucinations, confusion, chest pain, fainting, dizziness, sleeplessness, anxiety, weakness and the like.

Since methadone is not the drug you are likely to be tested for in a usual drug test, you can be tension free on that count. If you are using it as a medicine, better have the prescription ready with you. Also make sure that you have used methadone only in quantities prescribed by the physician. Excessive consumption will not only show up in the test, but also have negative health effects as mentioned earlier. Drug test home kits that check urine for traces of drugs can include a drug test for the opiate – methadone. So in case you are wondering whether methadone will show up, check whether you are going to be tested by a sensitive on the spot – home drug test kit.
