Methadone: This really depends on the States you are in - Federally to be on Methadone for addiction requires you to attend a "Methadone CLINIC" - dO A GOODLE SEARCH FOR METHADONE CLINICS, OR ADDICTION SPECIALISTS IN YOUR AREA.

Heroin addict: May also consider Subaxone treatment which could beb prescribed by a regular PCP licensed to do that if methadone treatment centers are difficult to find. The goal in that case will be to get you off addiction rather than substitution.
