Yes, Methadone is a synthetic replacement or supplement for a narcotic and is still considered a narcotic itself. It binds the same receptors in the brain as narcotics do, thus causing the same symptoms as a narcotic would, but better controlled. Getting off of methadone depends on the reason you started taking it to begin with. It is safer than street drugs and effective for those who suffer from chronic pain. I only believe in getting information from reputable sources - try this one.

And of course, check with your physician or clinic before attempting this, there could be hazards to your health. Good Luck
