How can you tell if someone is using methadone?

Methadone will make you nod off, if they give you too much (giving the patient a "high"). Methadone will make you feel "normal" again if you have been addicted to opiates from pain killers or heroin. More and more people each day are taking methadone because they are trying to come off of pain medications with opiates. Methadone is also prescribed for pain too; most people don't know that. It makes you feel either "normal" (depending on addiction), or "high" if the person purchased the drug off of the street. They also might have a doctor giving too much, and would need to cut back to avoid being addicted to the methadone. If this happens the patient will try to get the doctor to increase the milligrams, although sometimes it is necessary to increase the milligrams if being treated for an opiate addiction.
