This is a common occurrence in drug tests, and it can cause a lot of confusion and frustration for individuals in recovery.
Ever been baffled by a positive methadone test result when you haven't touched the drug? You're not alone. This episode of the 'Recovery Partner Network' unravels the mystery behind false positives in methadone drug tests. It turns out, everyday items like poppy seeds and over-the-counter sleep aids can mess with your results. Poppy seeds contain morphine, which can trick tests into thinking you've taken methadone. Similarly, doxylamine, an ingredient in many sleep aids, can also lead to false positives.
The hosts break down how these substances interact with drug tests and what you can do to avoid these frustrating inaccuracies. If you've ever faced this confusing situation or want to be prepared, this episode is packed with practical advice and eye-opening information.
