No. Vicodin does not connect to the same receptor in your brain that methadone does.

Actually, the answer above is totally incorrect. Methadone and Hydrocodone(vicodin) both effect the same area of the brain (opiod receptors) and both stimulate your Endorphines which activate the receptors. Because Methadone has blocking properties, it will clog the opiate receptors in your brain making it almost impossible for other opiates to achieve their desired effect. It is very odd that the answer above says that Vicodin and Methadone connect to different parts of the brain when they are both opiates (broken down chemically they are the same thing).

Yes, methadone is an opiate blocker and will block the effects of heroine.----------------------------------ImprovementMethadone does not contain an opiate blocker at all. It has a cross-tolerance with opioids, and higher doses of methadone can reduce the high: but from first hand experience I can tell you categorically that methadone does not totally block the high you get from taking heroin.
