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.”

Alcohol Detoxification and A Drug Habit

Alcohol DetoxificationWhen the question about a drug habit arises at the dinner table it's never a conversation that a family wants to have regarding a loved one. Unfortunately these conversations happen everyday across the nation and families struggle with the decision of how to help their loved ones to overcome this horrible addiction. Alcohol detoxification is available for many but, for some it never happens. There are many types of alcohol detoxification to choose from when help is needed and families should be aware of their options before committing to a treatment facility. Finding an alcohol detoxification center is easy but finding the one that's right for you and your family is the most important part of starting on the road to recovery for a life time.

Outpatient Addiction Treatment and Addiction

Outpatient Addiction TreatmentAddiction kept me from living a happy life until I found help through outpatient addiction treatment. My life was changed one night when I overdosed and woke up in the hospital. The doctor told me if I used again I would probably die because my heart couldn't take it any more. I was scared at that point that I might die because I knew I couldn't stop on my own so I told my parents that I had a addiction and that I needed help to go into outpatient addiction treatment. They were surprised that their little girl could even have done such a thing but, they helped me and paid for treatment. It's been 3 years since I went through treatment and I'm happier than ever!
