Drug Substitutes a bad idea

Methadone

Many people enter treatment thinking they will be placed on a medication that is going to substitute for their drug addiction.  What many people aren’t aware of is that this could be dangerous in many ways.

One of the main ways it’s dangerous is it can and usually does lead to another addiction.  Methadone is one of the drugs that is being used for heroin withdrawal and people are using that as a replacement to get high thinking that because it was prescribed for heroin addiction it must be safe.

That couldn’t be further from the truth.  There should be no substitute for an addiction drug.  With healthy eating, muscle massages and vitamins ones body can become drug free without the harmful effects of another addiction.
