What is methadone?Methadone is an opioid analgesic used to treat pain and used in methadone clinics to treat opiate dependency. 2
Is methadone dangerous?Deaths from methadone overdose are reaching epidemic proportions. Methadone has been identified as the cause of many deaths because it has an unpredictable and variable half-life among individuals, meaning half the dose may be eliminated in 9 hours for some patients and in 100 hours for a different patient. 3
How do I find out what happened?If your family member died unexpectedly and the cause of death was ruled "methadone toxicity," you may have questions about why the person died. Call a lawyer who has experience with methadone cases. She can review medical and prescription records, as well as the autopsy and help you find answers. Additional ResourcesSAMHSA.gov
