I was worried that a misconception had begun that methadone was only good for detoxing heroin addicts... This is simply not true... it is simply a longer lasting more powerful version of any other opiate... like codeiene, Morphine, Oxy codone, Oxy contine.... Percocet, vicodin, etc.

Both of you are certainly correct. There is a vast amount of research that proves Methadone is on par with Oxycodone for pain management. Maybe even stonger; based on current reviews I have looked at it could however be more harmful than helpful if not taken properly, so I would definitely urge anyone who is going to give it a try to make sure they are prescribed a safe dosage that is not abused under any circumstance. You can compare the two drugs for your own analysis following the links below...

I believe Methadone has only gotten a bad stigma because more people abuse it than Oxycodone due to the fact that its Opioid-like effects last a lot longer.

Please post back if you have anymore information to add; this is a great topic for debate.
