A teenage gymnast has her career ended by medical error and iatrogenic addiction. Methadone side effects not only damage her physically but cause her to use other drugs to be able to function.
These people are completely preaching information that is erroneous. Methadone does not rot your teeth, at all. I have been going to my local methadone clinic for three years now and it saved my social, economic, and family life, and my body. I have maybe gained 1 lb. while on it. As long as you truly want to be free of all illegal drugs and surrender to the process, methadone maintenance is the best way to go. If you plan to continue to use ANY other illegal drug while on methadone, try Suboxone instead. I've tried both, and methadone is by far the better treatment. I began having to visit my clinic everyday. Now, because of my dedication to the process and my abstinence from any illegal drugs, I only have to go twice a month because I receive take home medication. I started at 30 mg, went up to 100 to plateau, and now I'm at 49 and have felt no withdrawal symptoms. In two years I'll be completely clean. The number one way to be successful on methadone-purposely dry up ALL your drug connects. Don't hang out with anyone who has ever used drugs, ever.
