My Cousin Is a Drug Addict and Is on Methadone Treatments?
Question by Siraco&Sophie: My cousin is a drug addict and is on methadone treatments?
My cousin is a major drug addict and is trying to get off of heroine so they are giving her methadone treatments. My family was just told that my cousins money is running out now to still recieve her methadone injections and that if she doesnt get the money to still take her methadone treatments then she is going to die. I know nothing about drugs or understand any of it so if my cousin can not get the money to pay for her injections will she really die and why will this cause her too die? My mother is the one who told me this and dont know alot of information on all of this or why they say she could die from this so if someone knows any information on any of this please let me know. Im really worried about my cousin now so could this really be true? Could she really die?
What Are Some Short and Long Term Effects of Heroin on the Body?
Question by redflag45: What are some short and long term effects of heroin on the body?
Best answer:
Answer by JamieGirl
Okay, imagine that the links in your brain are a lock and a key. They fit together perfectly in a normally functioning brain. When you take heroin, they break that connection the first time you use between some of the neurons, and they will never be fixed.
Heroin destroys brain cells, permanently, which is why people coming off of Heroin have to take Methadone from a clinic because it provides a fake connection, between neurons and takes the place of heroin in a healthier way.
Coming down from the high leads to the chills, and shaking, feeling nauseated, or vomiting.
22% of all people who take heroin the first time become addicted. If you have not heard of BARBING, please let me explain.

What Is Better? Subxone or Methadone?
Question by stevies.beloved: What is better? Subxone or Methadone?
I am having problems finding a good medication for my addiction to dilaudid. Can anyone out there help me?
Best answer:
Answer by Christy SD Nurse
Doctors vary in their reasoning as to what is best. In my experience as a nurse at a treatment facility is that Subxone is the way to go. However it needs to be taken correctly, twice a day, and with a tapering schedule over about 7-10 days..no cheating…it is hard to do this on your own. You are still going to be miserable and have intense cravings. Your body must be clear of opiates before beginning the treatment or you will get very sick.
