Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it.
