THE BENEFITS OF METHADONE TREATMENT
We can help you through our methadone and opiate addiction treatment program if you:
- Have an opiate addiction of at least 12 months
- At least 18 years old
- Have tried to quit but cannot on your own
- Have the desire to regain control of your life!
The common benefits of methadone used as a treatment modality for opiate addiction includes but are not limited to the fact that:
- Methadone is orally active. As an ingestible medication, individuals consume the medication once daily. This activity replaces the dysfunctional activity of medicating or injecting various opiates of abuse 4-6 times per day.
- Methadone has a half-life of approximately 24-72 hours.
- Methadone, when prescribed in a regulated dose, has no intoxicating or euphoric effects.
- Methadone is implemented as a medication that promotes stabilization and not abuse.
- Methadone decreases cravings for opiates and provides a blocking effect against other opiates that have the potential for abuse.
- Methadone has a few side effects that include but are not limited to weight gain and decreased sexual libido.
