on a low dosage the opiates will not be blocked by methadone. 30 mg will not block it
Does methadone have a opiate blocker in it?
Unlike actual opioid antagonists (such as naltrexone and naloxone), which bind to opioid receptors, preventing binding by opiates (thus, blocking opiates and their effects), methadone only partially blocks other opiates. Methadone is an opioid agonist, meaning that it binds with and activates opioid receptors. However, during the time that it occupies the opioid receptor, it competes with other opiates, and prevents them from binding. While, at a receptor level, this produces a partial "blocking" effect, the overall availability of methadone throughout the system would have to be significant enough to produce this effect everywhere in order to truly "block" other opiates. So, the short answer is: partially
Does methadone block morphine?
Yes, Methadone will block other opioid drugs.
Does methadone block Oxycontin?
Yes, depending on how high of a methadone dose you are on. Methadone will clog your opioid receptors and make it hard for any other opiate to act in your brain. Usually, any dose higher than 40mg's will block other opiates.

Could you be addicted to heroin after five days?
It depends on the person. In most people, usually not. Methadone has receptor-blocking properties and will clog up your opiate receptors blocking out most other opiates. But it is still possible to feel other opiates on such a low dose of MEthadone, depending on your Methadone tolerance.
Is methadone or vicodin stronger?
Methadone, by far. Methadone is one of the strongest and longest acting opiates. Although it does not give the most intense "high" do not let that fool you, because it is powerful. 20mg's of methadone for a person who has never done it can last up to 2 days. Many people think because they have other opiate tolerance that they can take a high dose of methadone, but this is not the case. I have had friend die from methadone intoxication when he took about 60mg's on his first try.
How long after taking methadone does it take to feel an opiate high again?
Depending on the dosage, methadone can block the effects of opiates for up to 4-days. During this time, the methadone fills up the opiate receptors. When the receptors are filled with methadone, the opiates cannot stimulate the receptors, therefore blocking the effects of the opiates.
What is LSD MIX with methadone?

Will someone who is on methadone maintenance test positive for opiate or is it nessesary to include methadone on the list of drugs to be tested for?
Yes it is. Methadone is often sold to people other than the user. So it is 100% necessary to include methadone on the list of drugs they test for to make sure that you are taking it. Giving methadone to somebody else can easily kill them. Your dose is designed for you, what is OK for you could kill somebody else. And if that should happen, you would be charged. You would be responsible for that. I am on methadone and they test us for it. METHADONE IS AUTOMATICALLY TESTED AT METHADONE CLINICS ALONG WITH OPIATES, BENZODIAZEPAM, COCAINE, ECT.
