Methadone in urine

• The patient does not need to fast.
• The patient typically collects urine into a vacuum container, then tightens the cap and peels off the sticker. Under the sticker is a hole for the included collection tube. The patient then places the collection tube on the designated hole, and the tube automatically draws in the urine. The patient brings this collection tube for analysis, and the patient disposes of the large container containing excess urine.
  If the sample submitted is insufficient, the laboratory reserves the right to cancel the analysis.
• The tube containing the collected material must be signed.
• Urine can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• The result is reliable up to 72 hours after taking the drug.

Methadone testing is useful in determining methadone overdose during therapeutic management and for demonstrating habitual drug use. Methadone is a potent opioid agonist analgesic.
