Can Someone Tell Me How the Methadone Clinics Work?

Question by Answering: can someone tell me how the methadone clinics work?

Best answer:

Answer by penpallermel
They were addicts; heroin, morphine and prescription pain medication. Now patients at a local methadone clinic, these once addicted men and women can “go back home”. They can go to school and go to work and participate in life without the incapacitating aspects of narcotics such as Morphine, OxyContin® or other opiate based drugs such as heroin and Percocet.

Methadone treatment is the beginning of a new life. A life free from the once, twice, and three times a day doses of heroin and other opiates that it would take just to feel “normal”. Withdrawal is often painful, but with methadone treatment withdrawal symptoms and cravings for opiates diminish. The ability to focus on life’s daily activities, goals and family are restored. You DO get your life back.
