No! Methadone is a strong opiate. It was originally to help heroin users get off heroin, and now is also used as a pain medication. The thinking behind the heroin user is it doesn't give you the rush, it takes along time to peak, and stays in your system longer. It's less abused, but keeps the withdrawals and hunger for heroin less, but still a strong opiate strictly controlled as a Schedule II drug along the likes of morphine, Oxycontin, Demerol, Percocet, Diluadid and so on. It usually is prescribed for long time pain control, unlike the week or two, or month.

Does methadone have a opiate blocker in it?
Unlike actual opioid antagonists (such as naltrexone and naloxone), which bind to opioid receptors, preventing binding by opiates (thus, blocking opiates and their effects), methadone only partially blocks other opiates. Methadone is an opioid agonist, meaning that it binds with and activates opioid receptors. However, during the time that it occupies the opioid receptor, it competes with other opiates, and prevents them from binding. While, at a receptor level, this produces a partial "blocking" effect, the overall availability of methadone throughout the system would have to be significant enough to produce this effect everywhere in order to truly "block" other opiates. So, the short answer is: partially

Does methadone block the effect of Valium?
No. Vicodin does not connect to the same receptor in your brain that methadone does. Actually, the answer above is totally incorrect. Methadone and Hydrocodone(vicodin) both effect the same area of the brain (opiod receptors) and both stimulate your Endorphines which activate the receptors. Because Methadone has blocking properties, it will clog the opiate receptors in your brain making it almost impossible for other opiates to achieve their desired effect. It is very odd that the answer above says that Vicodin and Methadone connect to different parts of the brain when they are both opiates (broken down chemically they are the same thing).
