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.”

Heroin Addiction Rehab and Addiction

Heroin Addiction RehabWhen I found heroin addiction rehab six years ago for my addiction I was in total denial that I even had a problem. Everyone around me knew I had a problem though and with the help of my family I was able to find heroin addiction rehab. My addiction consumed me completely and there was nothing more important in my life than chasing the high I needed just to feel like a normal human being. Today, I'm happier than ever and so happy that I had friends and family who cared enough about me to make me get help.
