How Easy Is It to Obtain a Prescription for Methadone?

Question by TheseBlueEyesWillBreakYourHeart: How easy is it to obtain a prescription for Methadone?
I am not asking so that I can get some…
Someone dear to me has just passed away. He was a cocaine addict and experienced a lot of back pain. After he died I found out he had been taking Methadone for 3 days. He had more than 100 pills prescribed by his doctor. He basically just stopped breathing in his sleep and his heart failed. Why would his doctor prescribe him Methadone when a simple blood test would confirm he occasionally takes drugs? I thought patients on Methadone were monitored not handed hundreds of pills…

I have a interveiw comming up for a job I really want. It says that a background check and a Drug Screen is required. I have to take Precsription pain meds for health reasons. Usually is Hydrocodone and when it is really bad Percocet. I was wondering if they look for this on pre-employment drug screens or not? If they do or it shows up if I have written permission-reasoning from my doctor can they or would they refuse employment to me? I would hope not but I wanted to ask. Thank you in advance.:)

If they screen for opiates, then they would show up and it all will tell them is you have opiates in your system. If you have a legitimate reason for taking these and a doctor’s prescription, I cannot see any reason why they would not hire you, unless they don’t want someone who is taking pain medication working for them. Good luck.
