Methadone is not a treatment for cancer. It is an addictive drug substitute for people addicted to heroine because it is easier to wean off methadone than heroine.

Methadone is sometimes used as a pain medication for cancer patients but to answer your question Methadone is an inexpensive medication compared to other schedule II narcotics but when used in addiction treatment it can be very costly. Clinics can charge anywhere from $ 80-$ 110/week in the US. As a life saving medication I can say that is fairly inexpensive for the quality of life it provides many who take it. Regarding the article you are referring to I am heartbroken to hear of any story which involves the poisoning of a child. However, the surge of news articles with stories where parents are being thrown in jail only when a child is poisoned by Methadone is vastly misleading. There are 1 million poisoning deaths per year in the US and one third are children. Top 10 Categories of Substances Involved in Poisonings in Children <6 Years Old are as follows...
1) Personal Care Products (perfumes, mouthwashes, etc.)
2) Cleaning Substances - Household
3) Cough/Cold Products and Antihistamines
4) Pain Relievers (Tylenol, aspirin, ibuprofen, etc.)
5) Plants and Mushrooms
6) Foreign Bodies
7) Topical Ointments and Creams
8) Insecticides and Rat Poisons
9) Antimicrobials (antibiotics, etc)
10) Hydrocarbons (gasoline, kerosene, etc.)
Yet, if a child swallows Listerine it is seen as a tragic accident and the parents are consoled. If the substance is Tylenol child proofing techniques are evaluated and the company may make the paper but if the substance is methadone then Katie-Bar-The-Door cause someone is going to jail and the parents are evil, careless junkies.
