Started methadone clinic in FL June 5th 2015 decided to move 2 months ago and dropped 5mgs a day from 100mg to 40mg so I could start a suboxone program here in ohio. My last dose of methadone was June 17th I started suboxone June 19th and put my self into precipitated withdrawal ended up going to e.r and they gave me 2 shots in the butt and a script of colonodine that I didn't take. It's now July 23 and my sub doc said I'm still showing positive for methadone they sent it to the lab and said I have extremely high levels of both methadone and suboxone. I have not used methadone or anything besides suboxone since the 17th and I'm probably going to get kicked out. What do I do? I have a 7 month old and cold turkey detoxing is out of the question. Why am I still showing positive for methadone and how do I get it out?
Methadone has the potential to stay in your system for a long time. It accumulates in the liver and other tissues, and is released slowly. Studies on drug tests have shown that the half-life of methadone ranges from 8 to 59 hours.
