Yes! Methadone is by far one of the strongest orally ingested opiates available. In addition to its strength as an analgesic, there are many medications that, when combined with methadone, greatly increase the risk of death (including but not limited to: benzodiazepines, valium, SSRIs such as Prozac and Zoloft, alcohol, etc). Methadone also suppresses the respiratory system (slows your breathing) and this effect lasts much longer than the analgesiac effect. In other words, a user can lose the effect or high, enter withdrawals, yet still have their breathing slowed down - when additional methadone is taken, death can result, especially among users of an uncertain tolerance.

Finally, unlike heroin, the withdrawals from methadone alone are sufficient to kill an otherwise healthy human being.

Yes, you can die from meth! Meth is an extremely dangerous, unstable drug. Do NOT do meth. If you start it and try to stop without rehab, you will definitely die.

Will someone who is on methadone maintenance test positive for opiate or is it nessesary to include methadone on the list of drugs to be tested for?

Yes it is. Methadone is often sold to people other than the user. So it is 100% necessary to include methadone on the list of drugs they test for to make sure that you are taking it. Giving methadone to somebody else can easily kill them. Your dose is designed for you, what is OK for you could kill somebody else. And if that should happen, you would be charged. You would be responsible for that. I am on methadone and they test us for it. METHADONE IS AUTOMATICALLY TESTED AT METHADONE CLINICS ALONG WITH OPIATES, BENZODIAZEPAM, COCAINE, ECT.
