Depending on how high your dose of methadone is. If your on a low dose, yes you can. If your on a high dose than you would need to do more heroin but the high only lasts a few minutes, therefore being a waste of money. IMO

Yes. All that is needed to quit using heroin is a strong desire to quit, but in most cases, using methadone or suboxone will seriously improve the likelihood of quitting.

Check out suboxone. Suboxone does not get the user "high", it only keeps withdrawal symptoms from setting in, since it binds to opiod receptors in the brain. Therefore it does not continue the cycle of getting high. However, it can still cause physical addiction.


The withdrawals from suboxone are not nearly as bad as heroin or methadone, and the addict can be tapered off of the drug very slowly, causing minimal withdrawal symptoms, and very little craving.


It's encouraged to use one of these drugs to help with the physically unbearable and intense withdrawal associated with heroin. More info on how to quit heroin here: http://www.alltreatment.com/heroin-addiction/how-to-quit-heroin


Good luck to you all on your journey toward sobriety.
