It's tougher when a couple is on methadone because if they both try to get off, I or more will probably fail. Stay clean off of other drugs and lower your dose and stay in touch. You can do it if you want to and there'r no time limit on detox.

It sounds like you had a pretty serious problem and are a good canidate for the program. I wish you all best in your treatment

I take it and it helps me with my nerve damage better than anything else. I am very careful with it, because I don't want to die and I don't want my tolerance built up. Anyone who takes medicine for long, will be addicted. Your body won't function right without it. I believe if you are a responsible person, that u can have success with this. Only take what you need and NEVER take more than your doctor says to,

when we have over production of say butter, because we pay farmers to keep producing, just incase of a disaster etc, we call it a butter mountain; just an expression, no actual mountain of opium!

[1968bigcity]

@tpvalley I know its a year ago but what the fuck are you talking about, a opium mountain...

methadone works great through the first two weeks of stopping the hard detox. after the first day i was ready to check out and go home. but i stuck it out and once the methadone was stopped i started back on my pain meds due to pain. this last time i used suboxone and it worked far better than methadone and i only used it for the first two weeks then quit it also. you can feel it just cutting back one miligram a day. its that strong. so dont get addicted to suboxone also. good luck

they have come out with the new form of oxycontin this month. so that people cannot abuse it unless they just chew it up and swallow it. the days of shooting up and snorting and smoking it is passed. so now even just swallowing it people with a high tolerance and are used to injecting it are going through detox with the new form. we need more programs like this or suboxone to use instead of people going to heroin to keep from getting sick. thanks and godbless.

I was on methadone it was just a substitution for the morphine i was injecting. I did not know how i was ever going to get off the garbage. I found a faith based program called reformers unanimous . I give all the glory to God .

[tpvalley]

I believe that heroin or opium maintenance is a better treatment, they could used the drugs seized in afganistan and licence the farmers there and buy off them to take it away from the drufg barons, the farmers would face no risk so they wouldnt sell to barons, even if we get an opium mountain, here u can get diamorphine maintenance in some cases or dipepanone, but morphine etc is better as the short detox is preferable.

what is ur opinion on naltrexone detox.
