Why Would I Use Methadone? So methadone is more effective than morphine at treating pain and typically causes less adverse effects, but the good news doesn’t stop there. Another benefit of methadone is its extended half-life. A half-life is the time required for half the quantity of a drug to be metabolized or eliminated by normal biological processes. Because of this extended half-life, methadone has a pain-relieving effect of 8 to 10 hours, while regular nonextended release morphine only relieves pain for 2 to 4 hours. This translates into less frequent dosing for the patient, usually two or three times a day.
