Attacking The Myths About Methadone Chicago

By Jerri Perry


Methadone Chicago is used in drug recovery clinics to help people stop taking addictive opiates like heroin, codeine and morphine. Also known as Amidone, Methadose, Heptadon or Symaron, it is in the class of drugs known as synthetic opioids. It acts at the same receptors as the opiate drugs. Unlike opiates, it is crafted in the laboratory and is not found in nature. Amidone is also sometimes used to treat refractive pain in people with terminal cancer.

Symaron was first synthesized in Germany during the first half of the 20th century. It was designed to provide the country with a stable source of opiate drugs within the national borders. Symaron comes as a liquid suspension to be taken orally, or as tablets in 5mg/10mg/40mg sizes.

Over the years, many myths have evolved about Symaron, both on the part of opiate users and Joe Public. Here, we take an opportunity to dispel a small sample of these misconceptions and reveal the relevant truths. Methadone is merely one tool in the arsenal against drug addiction. Used correctly, it can be a great benefit and help turn peoples' lives around and keep them off drugs. On the other hand, used incorrectly, it can be abused, often withk devastating results.

Myth No 1: The first common mythical belief held by Joe Public is that people who are treated in Methadose clinics are junkies getting a buzz at the taxpayers' expense. The truth is, like any drug, Methadose has a therapeutic level, when patients feel normal, that is, like they did before they became addicted. At doses below that required to maintain the therapeutic level, patients feel withdrawal; if the dose is too high, they experience toxic effects. It is this toxicity that produces the "high." Therapeutic levels of Methadose do not create this high.

The Second Myth: A commonly held fallacy is that heroin is worse than alcohol. People who believe this tend not to be around Emergency Rooms on a Friday or a Saturday night. Alcohol is responsible for domestic violence, barroom brawls and fatal road accidents. The big difference between heroin and alcohol is that alcohol is legal, even socially acceptable, whereas using heroin is against the law.

The Third Myth: Symaron destroys your bones. The fact is, if a user experiences a sensation as if their bones are "rotting, " then they are on too low a maintenance dose and this needs to be adjusted. Bone pain is one of the disturbing symptoms of opiate withdrawal.

Myth No 4: Amidone makes you fat. While Methadone does indeed lower the metabolic rate, weight gain is not a standard outcome. Don't forget that drug addicts tend not to follow healthy dietary regimes when they are using. Methadose clients can learn how to eat properly.

These are just a few of the many myths about methadone Chicago. It acts by blocking the "high" associated with opiate use and decreases the chance of relapse.
