Drug Test Positive For Methadone But I've Been Off For Weeks

I was on 85 mg of methadone daily for about two years. It wasn't helping my pain so I decided to quit with the methadone and started going to pain management. The last day I took methadone was May 6th, 24 days ago. Today when I went to see my pain Dr. My urine drug test was positive for methadone. The Dr said there is no way methadone can be in your system for 24 days. I haven't taken anything but the oxycodone this Dr prescribed to me. She said that's it's possible it's a false positive and that the lab results will be back in 8 days. I'm flipping out because not only am I going to be in pain, I'm going to be in withdrawal until the test comes back and hopefully it exonerates me. Has this happened to anyone else?

Yes. Prior to me seeing my pain management doctor for the first time I had one methadone pill in my med safe and took it. When I went in for my appointment I told him that I had taken it. When my urine test came back I tested positive for methadone. Well every visit after that I am still testing positive for methadone and I have not taken another one since. She told me that she would check with the lab and see what going on. So I go back the 20th of this month and I will update the findings.
