Addiction to methadone can be viewed as a disease that attacks the central nervous system, and common symptoms include gastrointestinal distress ...
I need good websites that will help me gain facts that can make up 15 pages of a argumentative research paper. Any thing will help. Books articles I don't care!! Thank YOUU I have two weeks to put this together
Have you tried the Cochrane Library of Systematic Reviews:
http://www.cochrane.org/reviews/en/ab002 025.html (Buprenorphine for the management of opioid withdrawal)
http://www.cochrane.org/reviews/en/ab002 207.html (Buprenorphine maintenance versus placebo or methadone maintenance for opioid dependence)
http://www.cochrane.org/reviews/en/ab006 749.html (Detoxification treatments for opiate dependent adolescents)
http://www.cochrane.org/reviews/en/ab006 318.html (Maintenance agonist treatments for opiate dependent pregnant women)
Or the The Centre for Reviews and Dissemination:
http://www.crd.york.ac.uk/CRDWeb/search. aspx?SessionID=2124860&SearchID=2124 860&SearchFor=Buprenorphine&RPP= 10&DB=&DefaultOr=No&D=25& ;E=19&H=4
These are both excellent resources for evidenced based medicine.
I dont need any shit about this, I just need the facts. I dont care what your personal feelings are about a pregnant woman being on methadone, I have a chronic illness, and this is what was decided by my health care provider that would be best in the long run for me and the baby. I'm just scared that CPS could take my child away even though its being prescribed.
People are on medicine all the time while pregnant, depression meds, anxiety meds, blood pressure meds..etc etc
If your doctor ( your obgyn ) says it's okay then it's okay, no cps would not take your child for taking a prescribed drug from a doctor that is well aware that your pregnant.
It works wonderfully for my herion addiction and I don't want to go off of it since I know I'd immediately start using again. So many people consider it a "heroin substitute". However, I DO NOT get high on it and it is medically controlled so when taken correctly, there is little risk of an overdose. Not to mention all the awful things that go along with heroin addiction like the risk of contaminated needles, drugs laced with deadly substances, doing illegal things to get your "fix", and the fact that you will eventually end up dead or in prison. The problem is that I still have problems with alcohol and cocaine and methadone DOESN'T help with those addictions. I want to get help for all my substance problems but almost all rehabs are VERY AGAINST Methadone. I don't want to be on Methadone the rest of my life. I will eventually wean myself off (VERY SLOWLY) so that I don't get sick (it is addictive like heroin). Any thoughts about this? Please be kind. This is rough!
I'm not really sure if you can mix it with the methadone or not but Revia (Naltrexone) can help with the cravings for both opiates and alcohol. You may want to ask the clinic where you get the methadone.
And go to an NA and AA meeting. You can find local meetings at www.aa.org and www.na.org

I want to tell my girlfriend some honest facts about it so I can get her to stop
It depends on several factors but Methadone is not one of the drugs you can play around with and survive for very long. peoples tolerance plays a role as does whether or ot the frug is mixed with anything. Methadone and benzodiazepines (Xanax, Valium, Klonipin, etc.) is extremely dangerous as is methadone and alcohol. The big issue with methadone that makes it so much more dangerous than other pills when abused is its long half life. It stays in your system long after the effects have worn off so when you take more you are poisoning yourself if you don't know what your doing. Methadone is a wonderful medication when used properly for those suffering from addiction or in chronic pain but taken without a doctors supervision it can be deadly. Here is a safety page you can read that will give you things to watch for in cases of overdose. There is other info about methadone there also.

Methadone facts
Methadone facts, not myths Misunderstanding surrounds the use of methadone for opiate addiction. Even doctors make uniformed comments to methadone patients doing well on the narcotic drug. So how can we address these myths? By presenting the methadone facts! Methadone fact # 1: methadone does not cause teeth to rot Methadone can cause dry mouth, but does not cause teeth to rot, a common myth among addicts. Most likely, many addicts in active addiction neglect dental hygiene. When they enter treatment with methadone, they’re able to…
