Myths and Misconceptions on Methadone

01/07/2015

Q: Shouldn’t people be able to “just quit?"

A: It is extremely difficult to overcome a drug addiction. Many have tried to “just quit,” but unfortunately, typically fail. Because of the physical effects of prolonged drug usage, the body has become chemically dependent on the very thing it should avoid. We have consistently found, and independent research proves, that by combining medication-assisted treatment with extensive behavioral counseling, our programs give people a tremendous opportunity for success.

Methadone maintenance therapy is much like using “The Patch” or ni****ne gum to quit smoking. Cigarette smokers are addicted to ni****ne. It is exceedingly difficult to quit smoking by going “cold turkey.” So, instead, many people use “The Patch” or ni****ne gum to regulate and control their ni****ne cravings while they learn to live without ci******es. Eventually, they are weaned off of the ni****ne replacement and are able to live completely cigarette- and ni****ne-free. Methadone treatment is akin to “The Patch” for persons with opioid dependency. Methadone regulates and controls their cravings while they learn to live without drugs and abandon the harmful lifestyle that accompanies drug use. The only difference between a ni****ne addiction and an opioid addiction is the substance abused and the nature of the addiction.

Q: Why do we need an opioid treatment facility in this community?

Drug addiction ignores every socio-economic variable and finds its way into all communities. Treating addiction is far less costly than ignoring addiction. Demographic data on patients indicates that the vast majority of patients in treatment have long associations with the community as a person struggling with their disease. It is far better to provide and encourage treatment of the addicted patient than to ignore the problem and live in the community with those untreated. If left untreated, drug use will certainly not go away, and it will impact the community through public health diseases like tuberculosis, sexually transmitted diseases, HIV, and hepatitis. Additional community costs include unpaid emergency room visits, admission to medical and psychiatric facilities, criminal activities of active addicts supporting their addiction, and incarceration.

Q: What is an opioid addiction?

Opioid addiction is a deep-rooted, relapsing disease of the brain that results from the prolonged effects of intense exposure to the drugs. Opioid addiction creates a compulsive, physical need for continued opioid use. As the person becomes addicted to the drug, they must continue taking it or suffer severe withdrawal symptoms. Seeking and using opioids becomes the primary purpose in the life of the addicted person. Important social, employment, and recreational activities are given up or reduced because of this intense preoccupation.

Q: Is methadone related in any way to the “meth” that one sees in the news?

Absolutely not. Methadone is in no way related to “meth,” which is the nickname for methamphetamine. Methadone is a legal opioid produced by pharmaceutical companies for the relief of pain and for use in the treatment of opioid abuse. Methamphetamine – or “crystal meth” as it is commonly known – is a non-opioid, illegal stimulant and drug of addiction (i.e., “crank” or “speed”). It is typically manufactured in rural areas (or in other countries and imported illegally) in illegal “meth labs.” The effects of the two drugs could not be more different. In much the same way that hydrocortisone and hydrocodone have absolutely nothing in common beyond the prefix “hydro” in their name (the former is a topical ointment for allergic reactions and the latter is an opioid), methadone and methamphetamine have nothing in common beyond the first syllable in their names.
