Hi, i have just started on a methadone programme for Opiate drug addiction. I know very little about methadone, i want to know what dose people take and for what? also how long it is used for? i've heard a lot of people say they've been on it for years and i find that quite disheartening, it just seems like i am swapping one drug addiction for another! I also want to know of it's success rate for leaving patients clean of all drugs long term? If anyone has ANY helpful information about Methadone treatment i would really appreciate it. I don't know anyone personally who has been through a methadone program so it would be great to hear anything from people who have had firsthand experience with Methadone. I feel about out of my depth here and need some advise! Thanks in advance.
The time methadone is used to detoxify an addict from an opiate addiction depends on two things, the particular opiate that one is addicted to, and the severity of the addiction meaning how often they use, and how much they use. Also methadone treatments are not the only method to treat, and detoxify from opiate addiction. See here:

I am beginning to put more self confidence and respect for myself. I love myself.

I dont want people to respond with bashing or putting me down. I'm making this public because i am not ashaimed of this and i KNOW i can beat it!

Decreases addiction, detox, withdrawal and cravings for alcohol, drugs and addictive behaviors
I was recently addicted to opiates and have quit completely. I was using them for about a year and six months into my addiction I stopped having my menstral cycle. I have now been clean for over a month and have not had my menstral cycle start again. Has anyone had this addiciton or heard about it and have had it come back? Or is this a permanent thing that I have done to my body because of my drug addiction?
Congratulations on stopping. Did you go cold turkey?
It was almost 9 months before I had another period and I actually ended up having to go to the oncologist and get infused with iv iron. About 3 weeks later I had a period. Opiates are so hard on your body especially when you take them over a long period of time. When I went off of opiates I went on Suboxone. It has helped, I have relapsed once or twice but now I am back on the right track. Don't trust yourself around them, I can't. Good luck in your recovery. God Bless

I don't know how long term you are thinking, but I have been on suboxone for 9 weeks (not extremely long) and whenever I take it, it seems to "boost" my mood. My depression is not bad, but my mania is occasionaly there.
Did you know this? "A clinical trial conducted at Harvard Medical School in the mid-1990s demonstrated that a majority of unipolar non-psychotic patients with major depression refractory to conventional thymoleptic antidepressants could be successfully treated with buprenorphine. However, psychological distress is currently not an approved indication for the use of any opioid, and legally it falls in a "grey zone" that is technically legal but a doctor could still face charges regardless (but not for off-label scripting in itself, simply being singled out by the DEA, who prosecute doctors often for using controlled substances for approved uses ("too much")."
-Which is too bad b/c no anti-depressant I have ever tried, which is many, worked as well as suboxone for treating it. (Though, I am prescribed suboxone for drug addiction).
This just confuses me. Wouldn't the patient be then addicted to methadone?
Methadone is utilized for the treatment of drug addiction because it has been proven to be effective and safe. If it happens to be prescribed properly, it is neither sedating nor intoxicating. Its effects do not hinder normal activities. It prevents symptoms of withdrawal for 24 to 36 hours. When it's taken, it also relieves the individual's craving for the drug. If combined with therapy and counseling, methadone has the power to bring people back to their sober, productive lives.

bOpiate/b Detox
There are actually more than that. Some of these drugs are what some normal people might think are traditional "drugs" that are taken to get a high, much like heroin or opium. Other opiates are actually pain medication that people took because they had severe pain from some source or another. Either way, all these people have the same thing in common. They are addicted to an opiate drug. The best way you can get an opiate detox is to get help from a drug rehabilitation center. It is a good thing to get help from a detox center because you are surrounded by professional and experienced help and support 24/7. Another thing that is beneficial is that you will not have uncontrolled access to the drug that you are addicted to. Most likely, if you are addicted to heroin, your opiate detox will be given Suboxone to slowly taper down from your addiction. I forgot to list Suboxone up in the list, because it is also an opiate based drug. It is used as pain medication and also to detox from opiate...
Suboxone: Safe, Comfortable Withdrawal from bOpiates/b
Many people find it difficult to stop using opiates because the withdrawal symptoms can be very severe and usually begin within 4-12 hours of the last dose. But at Promises Treatment Centers, opiate-dependent clients are given Suboxone, medication that virtually stops all withdrawal symptoms, making the client significantly more comfortable during the detoxification process. David Sack, MD, Addiction Psychiatrist at Promises Treatment Centers, explains what Suboxone is and how Promises uses it to alleviate withdrawal symptoms for people who are addicted to opiates.
Dr. Sack explained that Suboxone is one of two forms of the medication buprenorphine, which was originally developed to treat pain. Suboxone binds to the opiate receptor in the brain and suppresses pain in the same way that opiate drugs like morphine, heroin, and other opiates do. However, as the dosage increases, Suboxone blocks the opiate receptor and doesn’t allow it to be stimulated. Unlike Subutex, the other form of buprenorphine, Suboxone contains naloxone, which blocks the effects of opiates when injected intravenously.
