Hello,
Thanks for writing in.
As methadone is a synthetic opiate, it will not be deteected in a standard urine test done for the presence of opiates.
A methadone specific test will surely pick it up. On this test methadone can appear positive for upto 10 to 30 days after last dose intake.
Hope this helps.
