Methadone Addiction
Methadone detox is the most difficult opiate detox to accomplish. Methadone addiction is often the result of failed attempts at trying to get off other opiate drugs such as heroin, vicodin, oxycontin, fentanyl or any number of other prescription pain medications. The addict finds himself at a methadone clinic seeking help with detoxifying from one or sometimes more than one of these opiate drugs and is soon on methadone maintenance (MMT) and addicted to a much worse, more powerful synthetic opiate than the opiate he was originally seeking help for.
Methadone Is Big Business
Most methadone clinics offer little or no assistance to their clients when it comes to methadone detox, as it is not in their best interest financially for anyone to successfully detox methadone. The methadone clinic's goal is to keep everyone addicted to methadone and paying their fees to the clinic for as long as possible. In 1997 the National Institute of Health released a report stating that opiate addiction costs this country $20 billion annually.
