methadone imfo

[justlikeyou]

methadone maintenance clients eventually reach a point where it is nearly impossible to ever successfully detox from the methadone, as it's withdrawal symptoms have been reported to be 10 times more severe than those of heroin and lasting sometimes as long as 3 to 4 months in duration, compared to the 7 to 10 days of withdrawal symptoms that an average heroin addiction can produce.

Methadone and sub are only alternitive narcotics and do not treat drug seeking behavior. I was on if for many years and know that it works well for the first year or so. After that it doesn't work as well and most ppl will start taking other drugs or booze to supplement it. The longer you stay on it the harder it is to get off and thats why so many ppl go back to dope or meth for life. Like I said it works well for a while then it changes into a beast.

Rumours..NOT facts,if that were the case everyone on Meth would return to a Heroin habit and then withdraw off that!

Its bad..i know,but it can and is done.
