This may depend upon the nature of the underlying offense for which the person was put on probation. However, most standard terms of probation require that the probationer only take drugs with a valid physician prescription. If a physician prescribes methadone - whether for chronic pain relief or for heroin withdrawal - it should be fine. The best course of action would be to obtain the prescription and provide a copy of it to the assigned probation officer. It's also okay to just ask the probation officer outright.

Most likely no. A methadone program is a legitimate treatment modality that can work well for some people that have a long history of opiate (heroin) abuse. Just do not try to keep it a secret from your PO.

Can you keep your cdl s if you are on methadone in treatment?

It is perfectly legal to drive on methadone, as it is on any other prescription drug, as long as you are not intoxicated.This means that for someone on a stable dose of methadone, who can pass a sobriety test, it is legal to drive. If the dose is too high or the individual's tolerance too low, or if the individual is prescribed other drugs which enhance the intoxicating effects of the methadone, the person will not be able to pass a sobriety test and will be considered intoxicated.
