What Causes Positive For Oxycodene And Expaned Opiates From Drug Test?
A family member just took his 3rd 5 panel hair folice drug test and it keeps coming up positive for Oxycodene and expaned opiates. this person is on methadone mainteance and has been clean from all substance since December. Is it possible that something in the Methadone is causing Oxycodene to show up and expanded opiates. The facility where the test was done is not halping in anyway to look into this. All they say is to come back for another test. Something is very wrong here and this is affecting someone life. They have a doctor at the facility but he will only see you if it was a test being done for a company. It is like they don t care. This test is wrong and what can be done to prove they are clean expect for the methadone

Hair follicle is pretty accurate. AND it picks up any use during the entire time the hair is growing (1 inch per 2 months). It frequently picks up drug use from up to a year prior.
Cannot say in this particular case and the rate of people lying about their drug use in general is far higher than rate of hair follicle inaccuracy.
