The purpose of this study is to learn more about how the study drug, methadone, prescribed by an infant's or child's physician as part of standard medical care, is processed in children and young adults. While this drug is used extensively in infants and children, it has not been extensively studied in this population. Physicians do not have very much information on how long it takes for methadone to be removed from the blood circulation and passed out of the body. Physicians need more information to guide how much and how often we should give methadone to children/young adults to ensure they get the maximum effect with the minimum amount of drug. During this research study, the study team will collect information about how this drug is processed in infants and children.
