PERSONAL EXPERIENCES With Methadone and Opiate Addiction.. Please!?
Question by Britni Gayle: PERSONAL EXPERIENCES with Methadone and Opiate addiction.. please!?
I am 19 and about to come off of a 1 year opiate addiction. (Percocet, Hydrocodone) I was taking AT LEAST 10-14 percocet or hydrocodone (depending on strength) each time (bout 2-4 times a day)
I have told my family and we have all decided to put me in Rehab. and thank goodness my family is going to pay for it. I would be on the streets in another month if I kept on.
Anyways…
Will it be easy to start off with Methadone detox? Has anyone gone through this before? What Happend?
Thanks A Lot!!

I have never been through this but have an opinion. If it were me, I’d go “cold turkey” in a medical detox if needed. It takes just 3-5 days to get most substances out of your system. I would not continue with putting more drugs in your body (Methadone). You need to be drug free, make it happen. Best wishes with your recovery, you can do it. God bless.
