How much does methadone cost?

Methadone costs vary a lot based on the form (tablet vs. liquid), the dose, and whether you pay cash or use insurance or a program. Prices also change by pharmacy and location.

What usually drives the price of methadone?

The biggest factors tend to be:
- The strength and daily dose (methadone is prescribed in different milligram amounts).
- Whether you get tablets or an oral solution.
- Whether you’re paying out of pocket versus through coverage (insurance, Medicaid, Medicare) or a discounted pharmacy program.

What can you do to get the lowest price?

• Ask the pharmacy for the cash price and the insurance price before filling.
  
• Ask if a generic methadone is available for your prescription and strength (generics are usually cheaper).
  
• If you’re using an opioid treatment program (OTP), ask whether the program can supply methadone or help with payment and dispensing options.

If you tell me your country/state and whether it’s methadone tablets or liquid (and the dose, like 5 mg or 10 mg), I can help narrow down what to ask pharmacies and what price range is typical for that setup.
