ObamaCare is NOT a plan, thus it doesn't "cover" any particular activity.
However, it does specify minimum required levels of coverage for a variety of services that any plan must offer.
From the details I can find, a Methadone Clinic would fall under substance abuse/recovery/rehabilitation. The PPACA now requires both Mental Health and Substance Abuse disorders to be covered at the same level as normal medical procedures.
So, the answer appears to be YES, that Obamacare requires your insurance plan to cover methadone clinic services in the same way it would cover a broken arm.

Why do they test for methadone at a methadone clinic?
Testing exists to ensure that methadone patients are actually taking their medication and not selling it on the black market. I'd like to elaborate on the above answer. Testing for Methadone assures that patients are taking their medications because most people that are taking Methadone are on a previous medication that is causing the withdrawal alot of Methadone users will sell the drug to get their drug of choice. Also they want to make sure the user is not abusing the drug by taking too much.

Do methadone clinics test urine to check if male or female?
No they do not. they do however, check for levels of methadone and levels of metabolites to prove the methadone was injested. so if you pour methadone in a drink that looks like urine, no metabolites and too much methadone would look suspicious. I assume this is why you asked.
Can your work stop you working cause you are on methadone I drive 10 ton forklifts?
No. Methadone is a very mild opiate in terms of its "high", that is why it is chosen by drug clinics to detox from opiates. As long as you are on a dose of methadone that is appropriate, you will not have to stop work or feel any major effects from methadone.
