While used for treatment, Methadone is a long-acting opioid that can become a lifelong addiction if not strictly controlled.
The Substitution Trap
Methadone is a long-acting synthetic opioid. It is intended to help heroin users stabilize their lives, but without a plan to eventually quit, many find themselves 'chained' to the clinic for life.
Physical Symptoms
- Sweating: Profuse sweating even in cool weather.
- Weight: Significant weight gain and bloating.
- Sexual Health: Severe hormonal imbalances and loss of libido.
Long-Term Risks
- Bone Density: Long-term use can lead to fragile bones and joint pain.
- Respiratory Suppression: Dangerous when combined with alcohol or Benzos.
- Lethargy: Constant 'fog' and lack of true emotions.
