opiate withdrawal
"My drug of choice was heroin, and lots of it. There is no doubt that without methadone I would not be alive today, and for this I am very thankful. Unfortunately though, like many others I am finding it very difficult to get off methadone, it seems to be a stronger physical addiction than heroin. However, as methadone enables former opiate addicts to live a "normal" life while treating/battling their addiction I feel methadone is immensely valuable. "
