I think you mean Methadone. Methadone is a long acting (24 hour half life) synthetic narcotic. If it is not prescribed to prevent narcotic withdrawal symptoms, it will make you "high". The dose prescribed by an addiction specialist should be just enough to prevent withdrawal symptoms but not be sedating. It is addicting and it is also very difficult to withdraw from if you do become addicted to it.

Methadone reduces the cravings associated with heroin use and blocks the high from heroin, but it does not provide the euphoric rush. Consequently, methadone patients do not experience the extreme highs and lows that result from the waxing and waning of heroin in blood levels. Ultimately, the patient remains physically dependent on the opioid, but is freed from the uncontrolled, compulsive, and disruptive behavior seen in heroin addicts.

Withdrawal from methadone is much slower than that from heroin. As a result, it is possible to maintain an addict on methadone without harsh side effects. Many MMT patients require continuous treatment, sometimes over a period of years.

Methadone maintenance treatment provides the heroin addict with individualized health care and medically prescribed methadone to relieve withdrawal symptoms, reduces the opiate craving, and brings about a biochemical balance in the body. Important elements in heroin treatment include comprehensive social and rehabilitation services.

I knew a guy that used that to get off drugs and he is literally turning into a zombie he spaces out and is almost like he doesn't exist as a living, thinking person.
