Answering the Question ‘What kind of drug test shows a positive test for heroin/methadone?’

Here a good question I found in the comments section of a previous post. ‘Biking in 209′ asks us the question: My ex-wife is a heroin addict who is in methadone “treatment”. She is coming after my children that I have had 75% custody of since the seperation. She has told the court that she is in treatment, but family and friends state that she is currenty back on heroin and maybe abusing her methadone. My problem is that the county court’s drug test is a hair test and only shows up “opiates”. My lawyer is convinced that no other test will work. I am desperate to find a test that will either show heroin and methadone seperate, or will show she’s abusing her doses. This woman walked out of her family’s life and five years later has no job, income, and has another child out of wedlock. I have three children that are scared to death to be with her, and when they do, they always come back emotionally scarred. Please help! Thanks Answer: A blood test and urine test will show if still using heroin , methadone will also show in both. she will have to be tested for both heron and meth to be on the safe side. hope this helps Tagged:Other – Health
