Methadone has a long half life, so the chance of you getting through with detox in 2 days is slight at best. How long have you been on the methadone. If you've been on it a couple days, it shouldn't be too prolonged. I'm thinking after about 4 days, though, you're looking at about 2 weeks of detoxing. 30mg isn't that much, so it should be mild. Can you apply for a split dose? I was up to 110mg on a maintenence program. I was able to get a split dose (2 times a day). This allowed me to taper more quickly, and I was off of it in 2 weeks. Given you're only @ 30mg, you could do it even quicker. At 30mg, I think the detox would be bearable, but not the best way to feel on a road trip.
