If people took the time to think about it, I'm sure they would rather stand next to someone on methadone than, say, someone who is taking anti-psychotics, fighting severe incontence, has bad gas, or the flu.
A pharmacy is pretty much a hotzone. All the cards, chips and chocolate in the world can't hide the fact that this is the place were sick people get chemicals to help them get well. To NIMBY out methadone users probably would remove some of the more pleasant people you can run into by the back counter.
With that said, I think that, if a pharmacy is going to administer methadone, they should have private consultation rooms that can be used for this and other sensitive purposes.
