No idea about heroin, but for morphine stuffing it up your ass is as efficient as taking it orally. Thus I would assume it's the same with heroin.

If you can get heroin, I would ASSUME that you could easily get other opiates, i.e. Oxycodone. Like one user said up above, if you're not willing to plug then don't bother. Personally, I don't think the risk is worth trying to IM heroin.
Why would you assume that? Where I live, it's much easier to get brown sugar heroin than morphine in ampoules for an average addict (99% of them have never seen morphine, not to mention that shitty OxyContin that has entered our market recently is bloody expensive compared to morphine, it totally doesn't pay off unless someone wants to take it orally).
Well, it's hard to get by marihuana if you don't know anyone smoking it or dealing it. Dealers here are NOT venturesome. Just because I know people selling their methadone from MMT, I could get amphetamine, methamphetamine, cocaine, brown heroin, various methcathinone derivatives, and some unknown powders mostly containing piperazines. If you ask them about ketamine, they answer "what is ket... what?". The same goes for MDMA in powder, they just know the name "ecstasy pills" but these pills don't contain a single molecule of MDMA... Paradox, but if you shoot up heroin, you can't get marihuana, ketamine, MDMA, and so on in my country without other contacts. In London I didn't have to wait 5 minutes in certain places to be asked "what do you need?".

But honestly guys...she's a pretty heavy addict. She should just detox with suboxone, or methadone if available before doing that.
If she lives in a place where she can get/afford it. Legally or illegally. But if she can get heroin off the street then I guess there should be no problem getting methadone off the street.
The only reason why you couldn't get it easily would be methadone in pills so MMT participants can't earn as much selling it as they could if they had syrup and could add water (let's be honest, if they're selling methadone, then they must have some serious money problem because methadone's relatively cheap compared to heroin in places I visited in Eastern Europe and Western Europe).
No idea about the US, the part of the world I will never visit for sure with the USA's visas politics. Anyway, (digression) people don't really want to come to the US now as job market is much less tempting than many European countries' and US dollar's value has gone down.
