Methadone can be used for two purposes - pain control and addiction control for chronic opioid addicts.
For pain control, it can be prescribed by most physicians, but some physicians will not prescribe it because of the connotations it carries along with it.
For addiction treatment, only certified addiction specialists can prescribe it. Other physicians can get certified by undergoing training for addiction treatment.

Once again, i am not a pharmacist, nor do i have any pharmacological training, so, be careful out there!
