Best Answer

Methadone is an opiate medication (specifically an long-acting opiate agonist). It is prescribed in tablet form to treat pain, and in liquid form (at specially approved clinics) to treat opiate addiction - especially when withdrawing from heroin.

Methadone is a DEA category 2 medication (as is the case with all other opiates, with the exception of codeine).

Is Hydocone and morphine in the same drug category?

Basically, yes. Percocet is a combination of oxycodone hydrochloride and acetaminophen (Tylenol™). Morphine, like oxycodone, is in the opioid family. Addition by Echo646: Morphine is stronger than percocet, however, and it can be more addictive and more likely to cause dependence, so even more care should be used when taking morphine. Every other opioid is judged by how well they treat pain compared to morphine.
