This link is very good for explaining more about methadone.

http://www.aafp.org/afp/2005/0401/p1353.html

It is written for doctors, but is understandable for most people, I believe.

It explains half life, and dosing and why it takes several days
to become effective. It has a table explaining which drugs to
avoid when taking methadone. Mixing the wrong drugs can lead
to a QT event or other side effect.

This explains the receptors:
