How Long For Methadone Clinic To Get Drug Screen Results?

Updated

When they test and send it in by Fedex, how long before they get results back?

The reason I am asking was last Thursday I found an old Fentanyl patch stuck to me that must have been in my bedding or something. Of course, the same day I got tested. Today is Tuesday and they haven't said anything but my counselor is getting old and isn't all there. I'm not even sure there was meds still on this old patch?

Does someone put you on hold if it comes back positive or is the counselor the only one that checks? I guess I just need to know how long before someone at clinic would see a positive screen?

I was wondering the same thing on how long these tests come back? I just started treatment and the quick panel showed I was clean on Friday and yesterday I saw the doctor and he said he didn't have the results they mailed out back yet. I would think that they would one day these out and have the results faxed the next day?

I'll see if the doctor is in tomorrow and ask him how log it takes for this to come back and let you know.

I am wondering the same thing, I tested on Thursday and was wondering if it would be back today, which of course is Tuesday, I go back Thursday again. I talked to counselor today and she didn't mention anything. I don't like surprises!!

I had cocaine on Saturday night. I might have a drug test at the methadone clinic Monday morning. Will the cocaine be out of my system by then? I just started the methadone not even two weeks ago. I am only on 50 mg. Will they decrease my dose if I test positive for coke?

It depends on your body and lots of factors if it will be out of your system. I can tell you that you just started and you will not get kicked out at this point. I don't lnow if it continues if you will have issues but at the beginning they sort of expect positive screens.I can tell u that u wont find your correct stable dose until u stop doing other drugs.goodluck!

Seems clinics are now getting results within 24 to 48hrs..some labs come pickup and drop off daily while others maybe 3times wk..id ask what lab your clinic uses and call them (not saying who you are) and just ask how often they pick up specimens and how long it takes to get the results.

Hey, how the heck do you find out the results of your random drug test at methadone clinics? I gave them my sample on monday morning (June 20) and it is now June 24th and I have heard nothing. There is no way it is positive unless there is a false positive because of ibuprofen. I take 800 mg of OTC ibuprofen almost everyday for my aches and pains. The reason why I am anxious is because this is my first random after admission and yesterday I found out that I have a 10 am appointment with my counselor that I never scheduled! My next appointment should be July 5th which is still there. I tried finding out what it is about and the front desk had no ideas and told me to ask my counselor so I called her three times and left a voicemail early and of course no call back. Is it to discuss something like my results or something not related. I just wish they tell you whats going on. They never even told me anything about my first day drug test. I just want to know how they usually tell you the results. Like do they call you or make you talk with your counselor?

At my clinic they have you talk to your counselor when any problem arises.
