Does Methadone Show Up In The Drug Test Given At MEPS?

Does methadone show up on the drug test given at MEPS? I have prescription, and will not be on it much longer.. But if they find out I use methadone, even with prescription it will limit the things (jobs) I can do in the Navy. If you have an answer it would be very much appreciated.

Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

Unfortunately methadone will be revealed in the drug test as it is part of drug screen. In case it is stopped for one week it may not be tested positive in drug test.

I hope this helps you.
Thanks and regards.
