Methadone Treatment: Methadone: Where We Are Part 1



A slightly dated but informative video about Methadone Treatment. This 2 part series was edited for time & content. It covers everything from “How methadone works in the body” to “The Stigma Associated By Patients”. It includes stories from those who are in MMT, counselors, and doctors. The problems faced by MMT today is almost identical to the problems of yesterday which tells me there has been very little change despite overwhelming evidence to support the use MMT through the years.

What Kind of Drug Test Shows a Positive Test for Heroin/methadone?

Question by Biking in 209: What kind of drug test shows a positive test for heroin/methadone?
My ex-wife is a heroin addict who is in methadone “treatment”. She is coming after my children that I have had 75% custody of since the seperation. She has told the court that she is in treatment, but family and friends state that she is currenty back on heroin and maybe abusing her methadone. My problem is that the county court’s drug test is a hair test and only shows up “opiates”. My lawyer is convinced that no other test will work. I am desperate to find a test that will either show heroin and methadone seperate, or will show she’s abusing her doses. This woman walked out of her family’s life and five years later has no job, income, and has another child out of wedlock. I have three children that are scared to death to be with her, and when they do, they always come back emotionally scarred. Please help! Thanks
