I have been married for 6 years to a wonderful supportive husband. Let me start by saying I believe your brother is a lot like me, I have not so much as had a speeding ticket or anything on my record, I do not lie or cheat or steal. I have been addicted to painkillers for the past 2 years and they have ruined many days of mine, so I feel for your brother I know exactly how he felt, just for him living in that small town they made him feel like an outcast as well, staying at home thinking about it makes it worst for me and I'm sure people looking at him different depressed him. I do want to assure you, these horrible addicting things seek the people out that take them and I know methadone is not always good, but your brother's story is inspiring..he took them the correct way and weaned down, if you have will power you can stay clean and he did, it is the hardest thing in life to get over I swear to you and I'm so sorry this happened so close to you, you said he went missing, has he ever returned? Please keep your head up and know that he did try his hardest from the way it sounds and he will always be an inspiration to me to get help.

My brother was an addict. Why didn't he just stop, I used to think? I had no idea what his life on methadone was like until we found this writing after he went missing: http://mereggie.com/reg/methadone.html Unfortunately, people will find them in situations that are very difficult to get out of. I hope that those struggling with this addiction, can find the strength to quit using drugs completely. Addicts are scum - at least that is what I used to think. My brother was an addict.

I have been searching for a methadone detox that is legitimate and not a sham. So far, I have found very frightening (and some are fairly new) techniques that promise the soft landing for detox..hahah. I don't even know if there is any gov't agency that can recommend or assist in finding honest and caring detox or rehab! I thought I could ween from pain meds with methadone. Instead 6 mos. later I realize I have horrible panic attacks sometimes lasting 2 days. This in turn makes me use a tranquilizer which is also addictive, thank God I know it's dangers or I could die easily enough!! My body is now dependent on methadone and I've added tranquilizers to the mess! I am very frightened and need detox (real detox) in the very near future. I am sure there are many of us trying to find the way but will die before help is found. This is a serious problem! My life is now a mess and my poor husband - I can only say I am sorry and fix myself, but how. I've searched hard for months. I'm 55 and afraid physically to just Stop on my own. I need some sort of come down with pharmaceutical assistance and knowledgeable medical personnel. I also realize I did this to my self but I am willing to pay however I can for a real detox and my life. I did not know, however, what a hell narcotics were! Now trapped on methadone and tranquilizers. I didn't realize that the discs in my neck and lower back would send me to this place .....but here I am. I will keep searching. And, like you said the folks that work the clinics have good reason to keep patients on maintenance! Methadone once had a place and fits somewhere but not in maintenance. MY COMMENT----HELP AND WHERE DO YOU GO??? MS. MARLIE and I surely needed to read your works!! Hi and i truly thank you for this gracious opportunity!
