If your doctor is using the less expensive, non-certified tests, they are known to show false positives anywhere from 4 to 50% of the time.

In such cases, synthetic and semi-synthetic opiates, such as these, are well known to cause false positives for others.

As to the Methadone, you can learn more about it here:
