I heard you absorb more of the methadone if you dissolve it in tea or other liquid

Most methadone clinics dissolve the tablets in water before handing it out to their patients. Then give the patient another cup of water or Kool aid to help wash it down. If you dissolve it in another heavier liquid, such as milk, it can slow the affects down but will not harm the overall treatment. So, no matter what liquid you use, the methadone will be absorbed. Milk and some others just line the stomach and therefore could affect how quickly it is absorbed.
