The law is written as Dr. Junig described it. That’s not to say there aren’t Drs out there that will prescribe methadone. For your Dr to prescribe Methadone he would have to say he was prescribing it for pain. The other way he could have prescribed it is that he is involved at a methadone clinic and had you chose methadone, treated you from there.
I would think the 2nd way makes more sense, I know if I was a Dr I wouldn’t risk my license to prescribe a patient methadone.
