Methadone Uses

Question by jewlz2626: Is there an easier methadone detox?
Ive recently opened up to someone close, and found out that they are trying to go thru a methadone detox. By the way he describes it, theres nothing worse! With technology today, there has to be an easier less expensive way to help him!! He doesnt want to be at this substances’ mercy any longer. Any suggestions???

Best answer:

Answer by Douglas B
If there is any new cutting edge ways that are easier and cheaper don’t you think those places that are trying to help would be the first place something like that would be used? Any other thinking about it would be silly. They want to make money and get a good reputation. doing anything easier would fulfill one of those and cheaper the other. so if it’s there to be had that is the first place I would look.    Read more...
