Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey.
