    methadone detox is still kicking my ass. it’s been 5 months. i will

    I’ve watched methadone ruin the lives of both my parents, both 30-40+ years
    on methadone. Yes you read that correctly, both parents on methadone for
    over 30 years and it never cleaned them up, both abused pills and crack
    throughout the years while on methadone maintenance. Now watching my
    brother and cousin struggle on meth. It really ruins people lives, it does
    no good at all, it just gets you addicted to something else that you’ll be
    sick if you don’t take. Bunch of bullshit these programs are, watch them
    all line up like zombies in the morning to drink their dose of poison. Some
    life that is, if you listen to any advice in your life listen to this. GET
    OFF METHADONE!?
