Introduction

Hello all, I am hoping to find an intelligent community that discusses the merits and problems related to methadone and MMT. Methadone saved my life but during my recovery I have found that there is a huge stigma attached to methadone. I have heard everything from it rots your teeth to it is liquid heroin sold by the government. I am here to help others and learn from others. I am also working with a methadone advocate who is fighting some of the newest legislation brought up in my state of Pennsylvania. I will be glad to get to know all of you and hope that I can learn something new while I am here! Cheers!

Hello last_rites99 and welcome to our forum. We are glad to have you hear with us. My name is Dee and I am one of the moderators of the forum.
Usually I am over on our Suboxone forum but our normal moderator who is RuthAnn is working a lot right now so I am trying to help her out.
I'm sure she will be along as soon as she is able to say hello to you as well.

In the meantime, make yourself at home. Feel free to post or comment to any of the other posts that interest you. If you have any questions let us know and we will do what we can to help.

Hi last_rites99, I Den. I live in Ukraine! also want to welcome you on board! It's good that you are a lawyer! with methadone are many problems around the world but here's the problem that you might have in America does not compare with those that have to have in Ukraine, I have 3 years methadone therapy and I have each day seven days a week for methadone must go! "Just because you can not get sick as methadone is only available in one hospital in town! And it does not bring myself if you can not come! even have patients who have become disabled as could not complete a full course of treatment and they cut off your feet! Even with the high temperature and open tuberculosis, a person needs from one end of town to go out of the hospital where he lies in that which gives methadone "But whatever it is thank God that there is a methadone "He saved me, I began to live differently and do not want to go back to street drugs! Regards Den.
