I know for me the first few times I took methadone I felt high from it. After about a week I could not feel anything from it. The one good thing about methadone is after getting in to your system it blocks the effect of other opiates. I tried to get high on other opiates and it did not work no matter how much I did. Get him on methadone as soon as possible and his getting high on other opiates will not happen no matter how hard he tries. The only down side of methadone is it is very hard to get off of. A lot of people are on it for life. I haven't been on methadone for about ten years thank GOD. Try to get him to go to some meetings and on to SR and that will help him a lot.
