Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it.

Some centers provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
