Methadone addiction is caused
by long term intake of Methadone. Methadone is a synthetic substance with
pharmacological properties similar to morphine and heroin. Methadone
is prescribed for patients with severe pain, such as those with serious
injuries or those who have undergone major surgery. Methadone works in
the brain to decrease the sensation of pain and to mute the emotional
response to pain. It comes as tablets, dispersible tablets, liquid, and
liquid concentrate. Patients take it every 3-4 hours for severe pain
and every 6-8 hours for chronic pain. Since methadone can be as addictive
as morphine and heroin, care must be taken to follow the doctor's instructions.
Do not take a larger dose, or take it more frequently, or take it for
longer than the doctor has prescribed. Methadone is one of the most difficult
drugs to detox from since its effects are long-lasting and it is readily
stored in the body's tissue.
Methadone
is also used as a replacement-opiate therapy
for opiate dependency. A legal dependency
(methadone) is substituted for an illegal
dependency (heroin). Methadone is available
in government-approved drug treatment clinics
and by prescription in some areas.
