It is highly unlikely the transplant team will risk the donation. Both the recipient and the donor could be at risk. Methadone does affect bone marrow both by its use and because of why it is being used. High risk behavior including using injectable drugs and unsafe sexual practices while high leaves the possible donor suspect for HIV and other diseases.
While offering bone marrow is a noble gesture, the risk to the patient is high.

Can a bone marrow transplant change the DNA of the new blood cells?
Sort of... Assuming there is no GVHD and the bone marrow transplant is successful, a blood test will show what percent of the recipient's blood is their own blood and what percent of the recipient's blood was produced from the donor's bone marrow. If the test comes back ">95%", then the recipient's blood and the donor's blood have become DNA-identical. Interestingly enough, the recipient's hair and saliva remain the same DNA they were born with. Their hair and saliva do NOT change to the donor's DNA. So, the recipient of the bone marrow transplant would then have two DNA's in their body. Neat stuff!
