Do Medical Detox Centers Differ?
Yes, more than you may be prepared for. Why do I say that? Only a few Medical Centers have any nutritional understanding of methadone withdrawal. As a result people feel unwell, medicated and ill while withdrawing. Cutting edge knowledge and methods exist for withdraw that exceed many expectations.
Here are some successes from clients withdrawing from Methadone. Only a few medical detox centers produce these responses.

Medical detox facilities differ. The glitz and white coats mean nothing if you’re feeling lousy and your needs aren’t treated holistically. Medications are a small part of medical detox. It’s the person that matters first and last.

i hurd that the withdraw from metadon is twice as worse then off herion, shit has u fucked up for weeks
@lovemykirk today is day 5 for me I was on 40 mg for a long time so far just cold sweats and some restless . I was messing up my dose for a long time though i was going 3-4 days a week without it and then going back on my day and taking it all in 3 days. which was stupid but so far I dont feel as bad as I was thinking . I went 7 days before and I felt about the way I do know so Im hoping to make it through it. Good luck I hope you make it
666yanco Your comment sucks and ya know what? I’m detoxing out 10mg. disc and it’s killing me, it’s hard and I turn to youtube to here some others who is doing the samething and to hear your comment it needs to be DELETED
Interesting viewpoint!
@666yanco Well this right now is actually a really funny situation because im on xtc right now and I dont rly feel the need to answer at all… xD
@666yanco debate?? are you joking? when i see your comments here, i can say that you have dropped out of any serious or intelligent conversation. you say things that almost makes me think that you are trolling,are you? i have been a drug addict all my adult years,and i have never,i mean never ever seen or heard anybody give such stupid comments like you. sorry abouth that “666yanco”. alcohol is toxic,yes. but heroin..man, shut up.
@HemaFTW you are forgetting one crucial difference – beer is made in controlled and clean environment and everything is done to make sure it is up to standard. heroin is made in some dirty huts in afganistan. give me heroin made in laboratories and i won’t have to shoot it up- i will snort it or smoke it. then we’ll see whose liver is more fucked. and that is my point. make it legal and people will not have to shoot it- you can take it as a pill or solution.
@vili1 i don’t debate with narrow-minded dummies like you. end of.
@666yanco Well we could test it. One guy drinks beer everyday for a year and another takes some heroin shots everyday for a year and see who’s more fucked up at the end. I’d put all my money on the heroin junkie
@666yanco you are one smart dude!! fuck, i really wonder have you ever even seen heroin.. stop talking about it when you absolutely dont know what the fuck youre saying!! “heroin is ok” its NOT ok and you will find that out,if you do it long enough, i guarantee
@HemaFTW don’t know about crystal meth but ask any physician what is more harmfull to your body: alcohol or heroin and then get back to me. and PLEASE PLEASE don’t stop this conversation…i need you .
@666yanco If you start claiming that alcohol fucks up your body more than any other drug then im just gonna stop this discussion right here and ignore you. Please grow some brains m8. I sure hope that deep down you know that your lying when you say that crystal meth, heroin and methadone are less dangerous than alcohol. Grow some brains m8
@HemaFTW so what? beer is addictive but because it’s cheap there ain’t no problem for people to drink it everyday. same with cofee, tobacco etc. compare the effects of alcohol that is legal to buy with illegal heroin. alcohol fucks your body much much more than any other drug. go do some research and come back, this isn’t just me saying it, there are 100000s people out there with the same idea. check out opioids.com.
woman choice this site happlly benaughtyman.info
@666yanco Dude stfu if you’d make heroin super cheap and legal that would be stupid as fuck. Heroin is one of the most addictive substances in the world
@HemaFTW do you mean that german book kids from station zoo? well, yes i have read it and have seen the movie as well but let me tell you this : everybody’s story is different. mine is not so bad and that’s why i defend using heroin. if it was legal and people would not have to pay price that is 100 times more than it’s actually worth to make it would not be so bad. just compare it with alcohol in the prohibition era. if only they’d try it with heroin, it would bring so much relief to so many…
@666yanco Heroin is not o.k. Go read Christiane F.
all i care about is my drugs and busting a cum
@666yanco – And, yes I do have more experiece because I actually got off the shit instead of blaming society and telling myself heroin and methadone are good for me. Whilst opiates are not toxic to the body’s organs, here’s what to expect: down regulation of neurotransmitters/hormones resulting in chronic long-term insomnia, low testosterone/high estrogen levels, increased sensitivity to pain, sneezing fits, depression, aches and pains, weakness/tiredness all the time etc these last for years.
@666yanco – Are you seriously so sad that you blame ‘society (for) push(ing) you to the edge?’. Here’s a tip from someone who quit cigs, weed, alcohol, benzos, coke and methadone on the same day. Take some personal responsibility, grow some balls, show some character, stop defending the indefensible and get your life back. Whilst Methadone is not toxic to organs it will completely destroy your endocrinal system and less than .2% of people on it for more than 10 years will ever get off of it.
@AbsoluteMonarchist so you “would imagine” that you have more experience with these things?well, you’d be wrong.i’m on heroin for 18 years mixing it with methadone for nearly as long so when somebody is trying to tell me how bad heroin is for me i just laugh.people should understand one thing-it’s not the opiates that cause the damage,it’s the society that pushes people like me to the edge yet alcohol and tobacco are legal although causing much more damage.where is the logic in that?
I have been taking prescribed Methadone for the past 2+ years for severe pain. During a surgery a 1/3 of my liver was attached to my abdominal wall. I think it was from hard hits to my right side just under the last rib. I went thru a battery of pain meds and ended up on Methadone. It has no euphoric effects. I hate taking meds but thats my life. I want to try to get off of Methadone with out the horrid pain of withdrawals. I will talk to my doc…Anyone out there with experience and success?
@666yanco – I’m not trying to save anyone as you would know if you had bothered to look at my channel. I just don’t agree with you that ‘heroin is o.k.’ Having been a heroin addict for a decade and on Methadone for 15+ years I would imagine I have more experience with these things. Longterm opiate use causes permanant damage to the body’s endocrinal system. Wait a few years and when you want a normal life, job, wife, children etc you will see how hard it will be to get off the shit.
best way to get off of methadone is with the help of heroin. it really works !!!
