When you feel comfortable, but not high. And of course the most important thing is when you do not crave any other opiate. The point of methadone maintenance is to stabilize your lifestyle so that you can function in society while getting treatment and recovering from addiction. If you are coming home, eating and passing out, you are on too high of a dose. You should not have to go higher than 120 mg's unless you have really high metabolism, but methadone actually slows your metabolism so eventually your dose will start feeling stronger and stronger before finally stabilizing.

Can you take one methadone pill and one vicodin together?
If you want to, yes. But the methadone is a much more potent opiate than Vicodin. If you are taking an adequate dose of methadone, then it is likely that all your opiate receptors in your brain are full. That is, in fact, the point of taking methadone. If they are, then you probably won't "feel" anything from the Vicodin. If you are not taking an adequate dose of methadone, then the Vicodin will help with pain/opiate withdrawls/whatever you are taking it for. It is important to add that if you take the Vicodin with methadone, or any long acting/extended release opiate, that you are still increasing your chances of respiratory depression(the #1 risk of taking too many pain-killers or benzodiazopenes) EVEN IF you do not "feel" the effects from the Vicodin.

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.
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.
