Can you take methadone while on herion?

Answer 1

yes.. i have known people to abuse methadone when they cannot find heroin. methadone also has a withdrawl factor that can be compared to actual heroin withdrawl. eventhough it is used to get off heroin its really just substituting one for the another.

Answer 2

Heroin and methadone are similar -- they are both opiates. However, heroin is for getting high, and methadone is for the treatment of heroin addiction. For someone who is a heroin addict, methadone feeds their physical dependency on opiates, without getting them high, so they can quit getting high without suffering painful withdrawal symptoms. Suboxone (or Subutex) is another opiate that is for the treatment of opiate addiction. Suboxone is a milder opiate than methadone. It is for the treatment of mild to moderate opiate addiction, and methadone is for severe opiate addiction.

Suboxone is a partial-opiate antagonist, and methadone is a full-opiate antagonist, which means that they block the opiate receptors in your brain: when you are on Suboxone or methadone, you cannot get high on other opiates.

Answer 3

the simple answer is yes. may addicts poly use switching between the two in order to controll their using. subutex however is a blocker and if administered correctly then any use of street heroin will cause immediate withdrawl

Answer 4
