No it does not. It just a way for that person to not do any other form, way, or drug. Methadone is the legal way to get hi. But the person will be addicted to methadone. If you want to break free from heroine you have to break clean. Go through the withdraw symptoms etc. Life is not easy but who told you you should do heroine on the first place... EFIL

properly, any logical businessperson or shop clerk - for this reason are you speaking a pair of drug addict or a drug broking that acquires a debt. A drug addict would crave the drug and get it with the aid of any skill needed. this would mean their final paycheck of the month going in direction of the medicine. A drug broking must be robbed of his money and medicines, caught, fined and put in penal complex, or have an addict beat them on the scene and take the medicine. those are all circumstances that ought to place the financial status of the drug broking in jeopardy. drugs at the instant are not a logical business company. So the broking or the addict ought to bend and lose money at any component.

Methadone is substitute for heroin, so no, that is not getting addicts off drugs is it? Then you have a methadone addict laying about instead of a heroin addict stealing. That is your improvement. I am a proponent of 'cold turkey' style. It's what I used 11 years ago.

It is given to Heroin addicts only as far as I know. Also, from what I know people get addicted to Methadone as well. Its really trading one addiction for another.

It's helping the person get off of the "illegal" drug so that the pharmaceutical companies can make the money instead of street dealers. Herbal and homeopathic therapies can help lessen withdrawal symptoms tremendously -- without becoming addicted to another toxic substance. Please visit the links below.
