In my experience, judges will say methadone treatment is better than illegal using, but it's still an active opioid addiction. I am not an addiction specialist, if you can get to treating your disease with an opioid agonist, that's probably ok, but methadone is still an opiate. Good luck. Stay on your sobriety path and the custody will come back.
