There are both positive and negative sides to the use of the drug methadone. However, methadone alleviated my mood problems better than any other pharmacological agent. Had the methadone maintenence bureaucracy been able to lessen its steel grip on my treatment (i.e., had they worked with me to tailor my treatment), I would probably be in full remission today. I think the main problem with methadone is the program, not the drug. Hmmm, and you didn't even ask my opinion, I gave it to you au gratin (that's a pun). LOL!!
> Methadone is merely a substitute, and while it is the best treatment available at this time (and I'm all in favor of harm reduction), it does have significant problems. (The implementation of MMT programs in the US is also problematic, of course.)
