Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. Methamphetamine tests positive in urine for 3 to 5 days after last intake.

2. If you have taken methamphetamine more than a week back then it is unlikely to show up in your urine test for the new job.

3. The concentration of methamphetamine is less after 5 days and after a week the tests are negative.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
