There is a fairly new medication on the market that some doctors are using for patients with a dependency on opiate or opiate-like pain pills. It is called suboxone, and can only be prescribed by a doctor. Even better is kratom. You can order in online for fairly inexpensive.

Methadone is a prescription and a narcotic drug. As a substitute you should take any suitable tranquilizer like Diazepam [Valium] or Nitrazepam - both are benzodiazepine drugs and not habit forming. For withdrawal craving you must seek hospital admssion under care of a consulting psychiatrist and substitution therapy must be in a hospital with psychotherapy.

Methadone is an opiod with less addictive properties. Withdraws may be handled by tapering the dose gradually before stopping it altogether. Anti-opiod drugs[opiod antagonists which block the opiod receptors in the body] like naloxone or naltrexone may be helpful. Clonidine,an alpha adrenergic agonist is also found to be of some benefit.
