I received a comment on a methadone blog several days ago (which I just read tonight – sorry) from someone on methadone asking for help finding a methadone detox –Fortunately, I do know of some very good drug detox programs, and am going to refer her to them.

She said in her comment that she’s sure others are out there in the same boat. If so, I’d like to hear from you. There are more methadone-related deaths than deaths related to heroin – which is why there is a methadone victims support forum: a place for people whose friends or family members have died from methadone. Fortunately, if you’re reading this, methadone detox and drug rehab is still an option for you.

I’ve been through the methadone experience myself – not pleasant. I wanted to get off heroin and, instead, the methadone drove me straight back to drugs. Eventually, I did get off drugs – everything. That was a long time ago, and I did it cold turkey. There weren’t too many drug detox programs around. But, afterwards I did a very successful drug rehab program and I’ll tell you, it worked. Everything that could possibly cause relapse has happened to me over the years, but I’ve never relapsed, not once. And I didn’t get into any prescription drugs, alcohol, or other substitutes.

I’ve got a great, drug-free life now. There were times when no one would have believed it possible. Fortunately, there are now safe methadone detox programs that are considerably more comfortable than cold turkey. Let me know if you need help and I’ll hook you up with someone who can get you through it.
