if you are going to a clinic everyday, chances are very slim that you will ever quit. Methadone is the most addictive opiate in the world. Your best bet would be to try and get a prescription to a drug called suboxone or subutext. It is a maintenance drug that does the same things as methadone but just without having to go to the clinic everyday. I went to a clinic for years and since I have switched to suboxone my life has changed for the better. But truth be told once someone starts taking a maintenance like these everyday it is very very unlikely to ever stop.

There is not a set amount of time a person needs to stay on methadone. That varies highly from person to person. I would say the amount of time spent in treatment will depend on the amount of time a person has struggled with an addiction. 6 months-5 years is a good guess.

Is methadone beneficial for addiction treatment?

Yes, if used in the right way. Methadone saved my life and gave me the ability to get off the street and not have to hustle money everyday. It also has alot less intoxicating effects so that you can function at a higher level. It is also a very good pain killer for pain mangagement from what I have heard. But it is important to use methadone the "right way" and get proper therapy while taking it. If you stay at a lower dose and stay away from all other drugs it is incredibly helpful and takes all cravings for opiates away for the most part.

How long will 30 milligrams of methadone stay in my system for?

for about 24-48 hours, it depends on your tolerance...if you have a low tolerance, yeah, but if you tolerance to methadone (or even other opiates) is high it, more than likely 1 day.....if you're asking how long methadone stays in your system, about 3-5 days, but you have to have a special drug test to detect methadone, and most Dr.'s or whoever does not test for methadone because it if too expensive for the testing for methadone rather than a regular drug test. Hope that helps ya!
