can methadone be used in treating crystal meth addiction?
Question by Kristy T: can methadone be used in treating crystal meth addiction?
I know someone who has used any type of speed he could get his hands on for the last 10 years.His drug of choice for the last few years has been crystal meth, or ice as it is called. He really wants to just have a normal life now but this addiction has a hold on him that he can’t get loose from. I heard methadone clinics can help with this but I can’t find anything on the net about it.

Yes, methadone has been used successfully to help lean people of crystal meth addictions in the past. However, in many cases it is simply an addiction replacement as the rehab patients now become addicted to methadone.

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.
