The patients who take carefully stepped-up doses of methadone be come tolerant in the sense that they observe no outward effect from it. Presumably because methadone works on the same brain centers as heroin, it induces a cross-tolerance to heroin and blocks its effects. A methadone patient can be challenged with a massive mainline fix and show no response-except enormous relief at the knowledge that now he can take it or leave it alone. He can watch...
