Yes. You will get addicted to the methadone though. But the withdrawl from methadone won't be as bad as the withdrawl from heroin. You need something a bit more than a nicotine patch to get off heroin. If you get on methadone do it under a doctor's care. Don't buy street methadone or you'll end up addicted to both and 1+ 1= 6 is this formula.
