They are both opiates that can relieve pain. They both can provide a euphoric effect and are addictive substances (narcotics). Other than that, they are very different. Methadone is a much longer acting opioid but does not offer as strong of an euphoric effect as morphine. Even though they can both treat pain, they are usually used for different purposes. Methadone is used more often to help people slowly get off opiates because it doesn't get people as "high" and lasts so long (which helps them avoid withdrawal symptoms). Morphine is more commonly used in hospitals during and after surgery. It is fast acting and very effective at calming people and relieving pain.
