Technically, it is illegal. But morally and ethically, thats another question. Many people at my clinic drive and most cops overlook this because methadone does not cause major intoxication. Yes it is illegal, but it is really up to the individual police officer and his/her judgement on the individual driver.

It is perfectly legal to drive on methadone, as it is on any other prescription drug, as long as you are not intoxicated.This means that for someone on a stable dose of methadone, who can pass a sobriety test, it is legal to drive. If the dose is too high or the individual's tolerance too low, or if the individual is prescribed other drugs which enhance the intoxicating effects of the methadone, the person will not be able to pass a sobriety test and will be considered intoxicated.
