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 Rehab and Substance Abuse

Residential Alcohol RehabMy sons father suffers from substance abuse and I don't want my son around him until he gets help through an residential alcohol rehab center. I fear that he will abuse my child or even worse while he is high. Substance abuse I've heard makes people act violent, is this true? How can I make sure my ex gets help through an residential alcohol rehab center and be sure he is actually cured from this horrible fate he has found himself in?
