    In all seriousness methadone did save my life, its like she sayid; it made me feel normal and able to function in everyday life which might seem insignificant, but to a lifetime heroin addict this is completely life changing just to be able to live without the stress of finding our next "fix"

      @@jmr6117 I feel you, Methadone can become a curse after being on it so long. I hated some of the side effects so I took it for a year then tapered off. Never want to get back on it again but at the same time it was a blessing because it helped me get off dope/fentanyl

    Thank you so much for this. I actually had tears while watching this. Some people won’t understand. I was addicted to heroin for 3 years and lost everything. All money and trust my family my relationships all gone. Got arrested my reputation all destroyed. I was a junkie loser. By The grace of God I met an amazing doctor who put me on methadone and I wasn’t sure I was doing the right thing but by following what the doctor told me now I am almost 3 years clean and sober and I have my life back. My family. An amazing fiancé and I’m doing what I wanna do in life. Which is acting. and I’m actually saving money now. When I’m ready I’ll detox very slowly but I’m not worrying about that right now. I’m also seeing a therapist. Doing what I need to be doing. I’d pick being on methadone rather than doing the stuff I was doing any day. I’m forever grateful. I could care less what the negative ppl have to say. They’re either not doing the program right or they’re still using. I’m not in my prison of addiction anymore and when I’m ready I will taper off very slowly with my loved ones. One day at a time🙏🏼

    I have a wonderful doctor at my clinic, but Dr. Salsitz is just amazing! I wish everybody could have a doctor like him. So many people are ill informed about methadone, I hope that changes one day because methadone has saved my life. It's given me my life back as well.
    To anyone who is here, and thinking about getting treatment, please, don't wait another second. You can do it, it's going to be difficult, and scary, but you can do it. Once you get on a medication, or you detox, whichever you choose, you'll never look back.

    I truly appreciate this post 100 percent. My family thinks my methadone treatment is equal to heroin and that's just not true. Gosh I wish I had a physician like him to make my old southern conservative backwards immediate family understand. Many just do not understand, I am proud of my recovery with methadone despite what others say.

    My lord,First doc I could actually listen to for more than a single app.I’m so tired of hearing about this so called Opioid epidemic. I knew the medical community would never stand for letting a patient out the door with a $3 pill easing your pain. If so they lose the surgeries,physical therapy’s ,Occ.therapy and all the other things that are real expensive. But when you find the right woman it is a beautiful thing.

    That is a very important clarification…with methadone you may be physically dependent but you are not addicted! What does that mean? It means when you’re addicted your entire life revolves around scoring your next hit/dose. You’re begging, borrowing or stealing in order to obtain your fix. You want to get high to dull your feelings and emotions. Your life becomes unmanageable. Under methadone care you do not crave those feelings anymore. You do not need the illicit opiates and drugs, you are not getting high or chasing the dragon…you are stabilized thereby able to obtain and maintain a productive life, you’re able to work, take care of your family and become a productive member of society. With and through the team of the methadone clinic, your counselors, doctors and peers you are not stigmatized, you do not have to jump ship so to speak putting yourself at risk of withdrawal. When the time is right you can slowly and with professional supervision wean off the methadone while continuing on as a healthy and productive member of society!
