Best answer:
Answer by opester
Basically the same as those for heroin addiction however methadone does not create the high that is experienced with heroin. Someone being treated for heroin addiction via methadone maintenance will most certainly experience withdrawal symptoms if they attempt to stop use abruptly. Methadone addiction, when it is prescribed for pain management, can occur and symptoms would most likely be a need and desire to take increasing amounts of the drug over time, diminished effectiveness of pain control at the prescribed dose and the withdrawal syndrome upon cessation of use that is characteristic of the opiates.
