Methadone, if taken as prescribed by your physician, should keep you well throughout the day until it is time to take it again the following day.

If you took 20 mgs of methadone 24 hours ago will it block the effects of heroin?

it all depends on the dosage of methadone and how often you take the dose. If you are in a treatment program you should not be using heroin. Talk to your counselor or somebody else you trust about your cravings. if you are not in a methadone maintenance program I suggest you get into one.


How much methadone do they give heroin addicts on average when they go in for treatment?

In Maryland they start you off at 30mgs of Methadone, liquid. From there you can go up by 5 mgs a day for so many days. 90mgs is about the maximum dose but 30mgs holds you just fine. But when addicts are asked if they want to go up on their dose, most say yes. But its that much harder to come off of a dose of 90mgs then 30mgs. I was on Methadone maintenance for about 1 yr. Then switched to suboxone.


What will methadone hydrochloride do?

It will make you feel very euphoric as if you were taking heroin. This only lasts temporarily and when a stable dose is found, ranging anywhere from 5 - 200mg daily, you will feel mostly normal. Though you will always be able to tell you are on it. Increased sweating, urinary retention, constipation... some of the worst things about daily methadone maintenance. But it can also act as a life saver for hundreds of thousands of people.... and then again it can act as legal and state funded high! :)

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.
