Unpasteurized juice ferments in the refer' (alot of O.J. is unpasteurized these days) but just about any can contain small amounts of alcohol (faster @ room temp)
I know drug testing questions aren't allowed, so if this question is too close to that, let me know and I'll delete this post. I'm really just looking for someone to point me to a better resource for this. A buddy I met at the clinic is running into some problems. He is consistently coming up dirty for alcohol on his drug screens. He has hepatitis and he's on dialysis. As a result, he can't pee for the required supervised urine screens. He has a doctor's note for this, and the clinic tests him with mouth swabs instead. He doesn't use any mouthwash with alcohol in it. What could be causing him to come up dirty for alcohol every time he takes a drug test? Our clinic uses a three strikes model - verbal warning, then written, then a team intervention and after that, you're done. He is now on the team intervention which will take place in two weeks. He's on an administrative taper, 5 mg a week, and unless he can prove that he's not drinking/using, he'll be tapered down to 0 and then kicked out of the clinic. Any thoughts about what could be causing this, or where I could find out? No one at the clinic believes him, but he's been clean since the end of October.
always so crazy when I read about this; I've been on the clinic twice; both times it was simple as can be. I did pay my own insurance, tho.. but I would be able to fail back to back to back drug test and it was never an issue. I probably NEVER passed one test but it would only be brought up by my counselor and that was it. I'd still go up (maxed out at 95) and would still drop down at the same speed as planned. nothing every happened for pissing dirty; whether it was weed, dope, coke, whatever.. nothing mattered.
is that normal for a clinic?
Wd from long term methadone use sucks that shit gets into your bones and the half life is forever long.

Sorry but something doesn't sound right. Personally,I have never tested positive for booze with the swabs even with daily mouthwash,w/alcohol,30 minutes before the swab test.The one time they thought they smelled alcohol with me I was given a Breathalyzer test before they would dose me and I passed (after drinking a shitload of rum the night before).One thing I do recommend is to ask for a print-out of all your drug screens every year or so.Not only does it show what you were tested for(never saw Fentanyl on the list) but it's a good back-up if you're on take homes,like I was,in case they try to fuck you with a positive you can wave that sheet around at the take home committee when trying to get them take homes back(as opposed to starting over).Good luck to your friend.
That's my biggest beef with methadone clinics bbt. There's no constinstency from state to state OR clinic to clinic. The Feds create the MINIMUM standards (pot is not even on their list of drugs to be tested for) and allow the states and/or clinics to make up their own rules,as long as they're stricter than the Feds minimum standards. I was on a clinic in Missouri once,the buckle of the Bible Belt,that never tested for pot yet in the more "enlightened" state of Mass. it's enough to lose your take homes,no questions asked even with a medical card. I could go on but you get the point.The bottom line is that methadone clinics should be run the same no matter where you live.As it is now,one clinic can CHOOSE to toss you for a certain number of dirtys while the clinic down the street can let you get away with anything as long as you're not behind with your payments.It's fucked up in the worst way as it adds un-needed stress on the cat whose trying his/her best in a world where the "rules" can be changed or applied on the whim of a doctor,nurse,office manager or a "security" person who doesn't like the way you look at them.
I went to a clinic in Maui for a year and if u had a job you got 6 take homes a week. And without a job u get a take home every month so after a year I had 6 take homes all the time at 70mg. If you piss dirty u just pay 25 dollars
Igot arrested and cold turkeys in jail for two months
MY QUESTION IS: how long can I use sub to mask methadone withdrawal without becoming dependant on the sub again? its been 6 days of sub, and I woke up today feeling pretty good so im gonna try to take tiny pieces of sub only as needed for the next few days and hopefully be totally done with it- does this sound feasible to anyone?
thanks!
The nod isn't very present IME. It's more of a stimulating high, a bit like phenibut or GBL mixed with a good dose of amphetamine.
What's up guys I'm new to blue light my name is josh I'm from Pennsylvania I'm 20 years old addicted to heroin. I've been using for almost 2 years via the needle. Started out w/ vics percs morphine etc.. Anyway I went to a methadone clinic Thursday and talked to a counselor who ended up reviewing my insurance, make me sign a paper, and took my piss. They made copies of my I.d and insurance card & told me they will call when the drug results are in. It's been 3 days since.. Is this the usual wait time? Idk what to do at this point bc my withdraws are becoming worse and worse, help please???
