Assuming your question relates to using methadone for an opiate addiction, there are several things you need to consider. Methadone is only a substitue. It is neither a quick fix nor a cure all. Once you detox from your usual dope, you will eventually have to detox from the methadone.
Methadone may help avoid the physical withdrawls but it does nothing for the psychological and emotional withdrawls. The physical withdrawls takes several days to a week (and yes, they’re a b*tch to go through them) but the psych/emotional withdrawls take years and they’re even harder.
Talk to a doctor or some other professional who truly understands addiction before you do methadone on your own or check out rehabs. Doing methadone on your own can kill you if you don’t know what you are doing.
As for a website, just plug in your drug of choice on Yahoo search and you’ll find plenty of info. There is also a website “heroin-detox.com” which offers info and support from users and ex-users.
Whether the information you seek is for yourself or someone you care about, I wish you good luck and be safe.
