Depwnds: If for substance abuse/addiction it depends on current status. If one is still closely associated with friends/family who use it might be better to stay on methadone. If one has moved on, new friends, active in na, good support network, stable life, then it might be time for a trial of a slow taper. If cravings return i would advice staying on it a bit longer.
