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.”

Residential Alcohol Treatment and Substance Abuse

When substance abuse strikes it's like an unstoppable train unless residential alcohol treatment is found. Substance abuse isn't something anyone ever plans on so when it happens it's usually not known by the addict until it's already a full blown addiction. Residential alcohol treatment can solve the addiction for the individual as long as help is gotten before it's to late.

Residential Treatment Centers For Teens and Drug And Alcohol Addiction

Drug and alcohol addiction seems to run in my family. I am the only child out of 7 brothers and sisters who has not fallen prey to drug and alcohol addiction. I want to help my sibling overcome this but, I don't know how to get all of them into residential treatment centers for teens. Is there a place I could send them that would give me a discount on residential treatment centers for teens for sending multiple person at one time? I don't want to seem greedy but, I just want to get them some help.
