Will ecstasy show up as methamphetamines on a drug test?

Question by Unas Slayer of the Gods: Will ecstasy show up as methamphetamines on a drug test?
My dumbass friend took some Ecstasy last night and is going to be drug tested today. Since methamphetamine is in the name of MDMA will it show up as methamphetamines?

Best answer:

Answer by texasogre
Yes

“…it is chemically closely enough related to amphetamines that recent MDMA users will test positive in both amphetamines (a common test) and methamphetamines (a somewhat newer and less common test). Because of this, the detection periods for MDMA are very similar to those for amphetamines. Also, many tablets of street ecstasy are not pure MDMA and frequently includes amphetamines (and may also contain DXM, caffeine, MDA, MDE, ephedrine etc) which may trigger drug tests.”

Question by Jessie: Can you be fired from your job while in drug rehabilitation?
I’m wondering if and employer can terminate your employment if you go into rehab for narcotics. Nothing illegal they are prescribed but just need help getting off of them. Can employment be legally terminated or would this fall under the Rehabilitation or Disability Act?
We are from WV and it is my husband I’m talking about he had a back injury about 10 years ago and has been w/ his employer for 7 or 8 years. And yes it is prescribed medication that he is on and not any kind of street or illegal drugs.

The Enemy Ecstasy – shows the drug Ecstasy and some implications of its use as applied to the military. Extent of Use: National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH). MDMA is called ecstasy in the NSDUH. In 2005, an estimated 502000 people in the US age 12 or older used MDMA in the past month. While lifetime use increased among those 12 or older from 2002 to 2005, there were significant declines in lifetime use from 2004 to 2005 among those 12 to 17 and 14 or 15. Other 2005 NSDUH results show significant increases in past month use among females and declines in past year use among those 12 or older. Approximately 615000 Americans used ecstasy for the first time in 2005. The majority of these new users were 18 or older (65.9 percent). Among past year initiates aged 12 to 49, the average age at initiation of Ecstasy in 2005 was 20.7 years. Community Epidemiology Work Group (CEWG). In many of the areas monitored by CEWG members, MDMA, once used primarily at dance clubs, raves, and college scenes, is being used in a number of other social settings. In addition, some members reported increased use of MDMA among African-American and Hispanic populations. Monitoring the Future (MTF) Survey. Past year use of MDMA was reported by 1.4 percent of 8th-graders, 2.8 percent of 10th-graders, and 4.1 percent of 12th-graders in 2006. Although these figures represent significant reductions in use since the peak year in 2001, trends in use have remained relatively stable over the past 3

July 26, 2010 - 1:14 pm 5 Comments

Question by Mary From Wyoming: what is the BEST drug rehabilitation clinic for my husband to go to?
My husband has been struggling with a drug problem for about 2 years. He was addicted to cocaine and eventually starting mixing it with Heroine. Now he is Finally ready for help but he wants to keep it confidential and he is looking for an alternative to 12 step programs and an alternative to narconon. We are atheists and would prefer a NON religious drug treatment center. can anyone tell us where to get more information about this?

Thank you for your time.

Answer by ***Invisible Pink Unicorn***
Good luck finding a rehab that isn’t 12 step based!

I’m an atheist in recovery as well!

I use the N/A program without the whole “god” thing!

Think of “god” as good orderly direction!

That’s what I did/do and have managed to stay clean and sober for almost 4yrs now!

Email me if you like!

No matter what you decide good luck to you both! Its not an easy road to tackle at first but with time and a clear mind its an amazing journey! Continued support is necessary to make it – you don’t just do 28 days rehab and assume all is well!

Edit: Merlin Bravo! Had no clue too bad its in Malibu!

How do I convince my son to undergo drug rehabilitation?

Question by evan e: How do I convince my son to undergo drug rehabilitation?
My son has been hooked to drugs since his college years. After high school, he decided to move out of the house. He told me he tried drugs only so he can fit in. He never thought he’d get hooked. But now that he’s been out of school for two years now and is still hooked to the habit, I am very much worried about him and his future. What should I tell him to give drug rehabilitation a try?

Answer by hourglass_beauty
If he doesn’t want help you wont be able to convince him to get help.

July 26, 2010 - 1:13 pm Comments Off

Question by Boo: Is there any sort of funding for drug rehabilitation centres and retreats?
My friend desperately needs to get help with her alcoholism. I have found a rehab facility that sounds perfect for her, dealing with underlying issues etc but her family have spent a fortune trying to help her get out of trouble for so many years, they simply cannot afford the 000 it costs for the six months. What help is available. My best friend is 24 and she is ruining her life, right before my eyes.

Best answer:

Answer by Betta breeder
Her life will be worse if she has to pay that much. Find another rehab.

Cheers

Can I find a drug rehabilitation center in Miami, Florida?

July 26, 2010 - 1:13 pm 1 Comment

Question by kelly: Can I find a drug rehabilitation center in Miami, Florida?
My best friend Phoebe and I are planning to go to Miami. We’re not going there because of the beach. We’re going to Miami because she’s planning to enter an drug rehabilitation. I tried to convince her of getting help to overcome her problem with cocaine and she said she’ll do it if I come with her. We’re from Pasadena and she wants to receive treatment from some place far away from home. Her visit to the rehab will be our little secret. Please help us. We need your answers as soon as possible. Thanks.

Answer by carrie
Miami is pretty far from Pasadena! Anyway, you can find a drug rehabilitation center almost anywhere. I’m sure you can find several of them in Miami. I’ll include some links to help you locate different rehabs in Florida. It’s good of you to come along with her. She really needs all the support she can get. Don’t give up on your friend. I think it wouldn’t hurt either if the two of you decide to have fun in Miami after her rehab stint. Good luck!
