You can't make them realize it.... they have to realize it on their own. Methadone is supposed to be a safe answer to heroine abuse, but I know someone who has been on it for years. It has side effects, just like any other drug. It is supposed to be used in conjunction with the care of a good doctor.

My mom was on prescribed methadone for years. About 4 or 5 to be exact. I know she knew she had a problem. She just didn't care. She would have kept on going if her doctor and I didn't intervene. Family Intervention is the best thing. My mom had to be put into jail and detoxed there. From there she went into treatment for about 3 months. She could have killed herself!! She's been off her painkillers for almost a year coming up. I understand how hard it must be for you. email me if you need more advice!

Ok, I just recently posted a question about how to disable a vehicle, well the friend had been a very heavy drug addict all his life, and methadone was one of the drugs he abused, he also had other things going on like Hepatitis C and a liver toxicixisity that went to his brain causing him to do things he would not normally do, like start making food in the kitchen, that didn't make any sense, mixing top ramen, with brown stuff what looked like melted chocolate ice cream. Not very appetizing. He often fell asleep during conversations. And fell asleep even while standing, leaning on a table. He has been suffering multiple flash backs to his past life of drugs and rage, and then took these out on his wife, and went to jail. His wife has been unable to visit him in the hospital due to a current restraining order which expires tommorrow. You cannot make someone realize they have a problem. You are taking to the drug. He/ she may sound like they want to change, but my friend here is in his late 50's, and has had lots of time to change his habits, but choose not to, so now, he is going to die. The best thing you can do is get them to go to treatment, to be de toxified. This is a time in this persons life that is going to be very bad for he/ she, as withdrawl symptoms are often rage, confusion, and physical violence. Methadone is more less the legal form of Herion. So your friend was probably a herion user before the methadone. Methadone comes if pill form and is much easier to ingest, and more descreet than "shooting up. " Or even smoking it. I hope I have somewhat answered your question, I am sure you can plug "methadone " into any search engine, and find out more than I have explained here. Good luck and peace be with you during your hardship.

I have been taking 100 mgs of methadone for over 2 years now and about a year on the street b4 that. ive gained about 60 pounds and get headaches, sweat and have joint pain as well as very weak bones -especially teeth. this is because it drains the calcium out of your body. and also slows your metabolism down and this is why the weight gain as well as constant craving for sweets. if they have an addiction to methadone....the only way i can think is the best way is to try and just quit....because i started methadone to get off of other painkilllers and now im just addicted to methadone. so i'd just quit while i could if i could.
