I was just wondering if methadone causes you to stay in the bathroom for more than an hour? Is that normal?
And does it cause you to stay up half the night?
And does it cause a lot of smoking?

Is someone excusing these behaviours by telling you that they are taking methadone? i.e. they are in the bathroom and up all night because of methadone? If so, I would suggest that they are still probably using their drug of choice as these behaviours are typical of an illicit drug user.
