54/142 ## u mean methadone? If so, that's a heroin substitute taken so you don't feel the effects of heroin withdrawal. it's a narcotic that comes in every milligram, depending on the heroin dependancy. Basically each milligram is equivalent to a dollar street worth of heroin. like 20 mg's of meth is equal to 20 dollars worth of heroin on the street. I know, my sister is going thru this.
