Why Am I Still Testing Positive For Methadone

I have been clean from methadone for almost 3 weeks now and I am still testing positive for methadone.... Any ideas why or how long this is gonna take? I am 5'6 and physically fit. I was injecting methadone pills heavy for 6 months or so and only about once a week for the past 3 months

With long-term chronic use, it takes much longer for a drug to process out of your body.

In addition, if you were injecting ones that are not supposed to be used that way, you also run the risk of creating blockages in your body, since some elements of tablets are not meant to be broken down by the human body and are normally just expelled in your regular waste.

This could also be adding to it, since along with these substances your body cannot dissolve, there is also going to be some remnants of the drug itself and it is going to take your body much, much longer to try and process that out.

In this case, it is really not surprising that it is still registering on a test.
