Methadone is for people who need help getting off heroin/opiates. For pain(methadone) pill addiction depends on the doctor. They also use methadone as a pain killer.
Can they tell if you have done extra methadone at methadone clinic with a urine test?

Can you tell the difference between Oxycontin and methadone in a drug test?
Yes they can tell the difference in Methadone and hydrocodone Methadone has to be tested separately in a test it is not on the 5 panel test. Hydrocodone however is an opiate and will show up as an opiate. Methadone is a synthetic opiate and is in a class all of its own. Methadone tricks the brain into thinking that its still has heroin/opiates in the body it works the same in the brain. So to answer your question they would have to test separate for methadone. It is two totally different drug classes. I personally don't think on a dipstick they can. Methadone is still an opiate. I took it for years with loracet and never saw the dr tell a difference. Sorry to tell ya.
Do methadone clinics mix methadone with placebo?

How do you tell a fellow you are on methadone when you are an advocate for the drug?
Your an advocate for methadone use. I don't know of any positive medicinal methadone use so what do you advocate. Why not just say your a drug addict, that is what a user is called. That is what your worried about telling him, isn't it. Why not be your own best advocate and get some help to get off methadone and stay clean so you can have a TRUE friendship with this fellow. ==================================================== It all depends why your using it. Most have good reasons for using it. Like Fibromyalgia, Lupus, chronic pain, or using it to keep the withdrawals at bay from using heroin or morphine. Yes, methadone is addictive no matter what way you use it. If you feel the need to tell him because the relationship is changing into something more, Just be honest and explain to him why you are using it.
Is methadone more helpful for joint pain then oxycodone?
It all depends. Everyone is different. I have heard people that have had success with both medications for pain. It is all up to the individual and their own preference. Methadone and Oxycodone are different types of opiate drugs. Methadone is a very long lasting opiate but will not have as intense of a euphoric effect, which helps many people who need to function while on a pain-killer. Oxycodone is a much shorter acting and intense opiate. You will feel a much more euphoric effect and "high" than from methadone, but you will need more of the medication (multiple doses in a day).
You took 20mg of methadone for your pain 3 hours ago and it is doing nothing will you be okay if you take one of your morphine pills now?
Do not do this unless your doctor tell you so. Methadone is much more potent than most people think. The half-life of methadone is anywhere from 8-24 hours or more. Adding another opiate to it as strong as morphine is asking for trouble.
What is the main drawback in methadone treatment for a heroin addict?
The main drawbacks for an addict, are that methadone withdraws are more severe and prolonged than coming off of 'street heroin'. Most addicts taking methadone are on it for a long time. Methadone is an addictive substance - the longer you are on it the more you need! Which is why the amount of addicts who actually achieve abstinence whilst using methadone is very low. Methadone dose not stop the obsessive behaviour or thoughts associated with addiction. Addicts usually end up with two addictions - to the methadone and to the heroin! In general, and at best, it can be described as a harm reduction measure. It is cheap to produce and controllable by the Authorities. Which is why it has been, and continues to be used.
