Dispelling The Myths About Methadone Chicago

Dispelling The Myths About Methadone Chicago

by Jerri Perry

Methadone Chicago is used in drug recovery clinics to help people stop taking addictive opiates like heroin, codeine and morphine. Also known as Amidone, Methadose, Heptadon or Symaron, it is in the class of drugs known as synthetic opioids. It acts at the same receptors as the opiate drugs. Unlike opiates, it is crafted in the laboratory and is not found in nature. Amidone is also sometimes used to treat refractive pain in people with terminal cancer.

Symaron was first synthesized in Germany during the first half of the 20th century. It was designed to provide the country with a stable source of opiate drugs within the national borders. Symaron comes as a liquid suspension to be taken orally, or as tablets in 5mg/10mg/40mg sizes.

Numerous myths have evolved about the use of Amidone as a treatment for opiate addiction. The general public and opiate addicts both have misconceptions about the drug. Here, we examine a few of these myths and uncover the real truths. Amidone is only one treatment options that are used to help recovering heroin addicts. It can be used successfully and it can also be abused. In many cases, it has provided individuals with a road to recovery of their normal, pre-addiction, productive lives.

Myth No 1: The first common mythical belief held by Joe Public is that people who are treated in Methadose clinics are junkies getting a buzz at the taxpayers' expense. The truth is, like any drug, Methadose has a therapeutic level, when patients feel normal, that is, like they did before they became addicted. At doses below that required to maintain the therapeutic level, patients feel withdrawal; if the dose is too high, they experience toxic effects. It is this toxicity that produces the "high." Therapeutic levels of Methadose do not create this high.

Myth No 2: The second common misconception is that heroin is worse than alcohol. The truth is, alcohol can be every bit as devastating to the addict and everyone around them. Alcohol is at the heart of an overwhelming amount of domestic violence, child abuse and it creates chronic health problems in the abuser. The main difference between alcohol and heroin is that alcohol addicts are not breaking the law.

The Third Myth: Symaron destroys your bones. The fact is, if a user experiences a sensation as if their bones are "rotting, " then they are on too low a maintenance dose and this needs to be adjusted. Bone pain is one of the disturbing symptoms of opiate withdrawal.

Myth No 4: Methadose will make you gain weight. While it is true that the drug slows the metabolic rate, weight gain is not an inevitable consequence. Bearing in mind that opiate addicts do not eat regularly when they are using, Methadose clients can be trained to eat healthily.

There are many, many more myths surrounding <A href="http://recoveryconcepts.org">methadone Chicago</A>. We are not trying to "sell" methadone treatment. The truth is it blocks the high that is sought by opiate users and reduces the chance of relapse as the drug is withdrawn.
