Answer by kittykat
I have a friend who’s husband is addicted to opiates and he started going to a methadone clinic. That was 4 years ago and he is still going!! I’ve seen her loose her car, home and now she is in jeopardy of loosing her children because of her husband’s addiction to now Methadone. I just don’t see how using one drug to get someone off of another drug can be useful. I’ve read alot of the times where people using Methadone overdoses because they mix the methadone with other narcotics such as anti-depressants, anti-anxiety drugs. Have her do some more in depth research on the pros and cons of Methadone. I’ve read it can be useful if administered properly. I’ve also heard the dangers when people are buying and selling methadone on the street, this is where is can be lethal.
