I have a friend on methadone. He goes to a clinic and they give him the dose and he has to take it there. Same as if he goes to a pharmacy, they do not allow you to take it with you or self dose, it’s something you take there and then, at a set dose.

Is Methadone Addiction “curable”?

Addictions of any sort are never cured, they can only be managed. Physical addiction can be corrected, but the psychological damage is permanent.

As for methadone, it is basically meant for people with tremendous narcotic addictions that cannot be stopped, so it’s essentially a lifetime thing. Patients are welcome to seek alternate treatments and stop methadone, though. It’s not a mandated life sentence.

Methadone Addiction: Pregnant on Methadone?

Question by SmileItsNotThatSerious: Pregnant on Methadone?
Many women take methadone for pain or are far into their addiction treatement, and then they get pregnant by accident. Rather than abortion, they slowly and safely lower their dose so the baby isn’t born addicted. But then there are the women who don’t care or don’t want to try, and they actually increase their dose! THESE women complained that their clinic wanted them to lower their dose, and made it seem like they were being asked to stop cold turkey (which can cause miscarriage). Now NJ has a law being proposed that will make it illegal for a woman on meth who gets pregnant to safely quit methadone!!!! Basically they want to force women to STAY ON methadone, and take away their right to choose having a healthy baby! Medical research says that SLOWLY tapering off methadone is safest, but these “addiction” specialists are fighting this and putting out false info that it is not safe.
How can a concerned mom fight this?
