Is it the same thing as crystl meth you hear about on the crime shows?

I'm not an expert, so I can't give you a definitive answer.

No, methadone and methamphetamine are totally different things.

Meth- is a prefix meaning a form of methyl(ene) is part of the chemical compound.

When people say "meth" - they're talking about methamphetamines.
