Is methadone ever prescribed for pain management and not heroin addiction?

Methadone is a very popular drug used for chronic and severe pain management.....more so than it is for heroin addiction.

It does not have to be given with analgesics, and not only for end of life issues......I've been handing out methadone for years!! Source(s): trauma, NICU, SICU, BMT nurse
They can prescribe methadone to help with pain control in addition to analgesics. It wouldn't be prescribed alone.
yes, but usually only in end of life care (paliatie care)
Oh yes.
