How does one address methadone use for heroin recovery on a job interview or drug test?
Answer:
Be honest. And ask them to be honest with you if things do work out. Employers what a good days work, and employees that get along with everyone. They want someone who works hard and works together. If you're doing that then there is no issue. Keep going to your therapy and work out the issues in your life. People usually don't have a drug or alcohol problem, they have a pain problem. Make sure you're dealing with the pain in your life. If things don't work out and you need to part ways, do it graciously and go get another job. There are millions of jobs out there and opportunity unfolds in the strangest places for those who are prepared. Good Luck.
If you have a prescription, there should not be a problem. Methadone is also used as a pain reliever. So, they won't necessarily know why you are taking it, unless you tell them. If they act prejudice about it, then screw them! Your addiction is a portion of your medical history and therefore it is private. You do not have to tell anyone about this. The most important thing is that you are on the road to recovery and that is so hard, you deserve an applause!!
