People on methadone aren't recovered. They are just addicted to another opiate. [/quote]

I am pretty sure that the PP wanted to know your opinion about methadone [i]treatment[/i]. Unless that's your opinion -- that methadone treatment is bad, because addiction to methadone is still addiction?[/quote]

Don't know whether PP shares my view but methadone should be viewed as a last resort for hardened addicts.  Totally unsuitable for newer addicts.  Suboxone is a let's throw some medication at this approach.  Many people are now addicted to suboxone, and I've heard in parts of Europe there are people they are addicted to suboxone as their starter opiate.  No oxy, no heroin, just suboxone.

Both methadone and suboxone are addictive.  They have a much longer half life than oxy or heroin so withdrawal can be much harder and longer.  In addition, there are many out there taking it just to make sure if they can't score their pills or heroin at least they have a fix to get them through.

By the way, most addicts who have taken oxy or heroin for some time are no longer taking it to get high.  They are taking it to stave off withdrawal symptoms.[/quote]
