Are you getting the methadone from a doctor?

Since methadone has such a long half-life (it's a very long acting opioid) it's really best to taper off it under a doctors advise/care.

It will depend on how much you take/how often etc.

Can you go to a doctor, be honest with him/her and get them to set up a taper plan for you?

If you're buying it off the streets this will be a bit more complicated - but do-able. It's still possible to find a doctor willing to help you. If your obtaining it by prescription with a doctor you can just ask them to set up a taper for you to get off it.

Good luck and sorry to hear about your children :-(
