Methadone Addiction
As an opiate, regular use of methadone causes physical dependency - if you've been using it regularly (prescribed or not) once you stop you will experience a withdrawal. The physical changes due to the drug are similar to other opiates (like heroin). If you are a woman using methadone you may not have regular periods - but you are still able to conceive. Methadone is a long-acting opioid; it has an effect for up to 36 hours (if you are using methadone you will not withdraw for this period) A personal story of methadone withdrawal: “I've been on both ends of withdrawals, heroin and methadone, every patient of methadone will always tell you the same, as I do; I can kick heroin anytime, but methadone that is something else. In 15 yrs of heroin addiction, I've kicked 3 times, 'cold-turkey'. In 10 years on methadone I've never kicked methadone.”

Crystal Meth Rehab and Substance Abuse

Crystal Meth RehabMy father is in prison due to his substance abuse and will be getting out next year if he makes it that long. What can I do to get him into an crystal meth rehab center when he gets out on parole? I don't want him to have a substance abuse relapse once he is free. If there an crystal meth rehab center that will take him straight from prison?

Treatment For Methamphetamine Addiction and Chemical Dependence

Treatment For Methamphetamine AddictionChemical dependence kept me from living a happy life until I found help through treatment for methamphetamine addiction. My life was changed one night when I overdosed and woke up in the hospital. The doctor told me if I used again I would probably die because my heart couldn't take it any more. I was scared at that point that I might die because I knew I couldn't stop on my own so I told my parents that I had a chemical dependence and that I needed help to go into treatment for methamphetamine addiction. They were surprised that their little girl could even have done such a thing but, they helped me and paid for treatment. It's been 3 years since I went through treatment and I'm happier than ever!
