Methadone Support
I would like to thank Carol Sholiton founder / director of Methadone Support Org for her kind advice, assistance & support in helping with the information provided on this page.
I'm not trying to re-invent the wheel, the info's already out there, just making it easily accessible for you on this site.
Just in case you need reminding: ~
Please seek professional medical advice prior to acting on any info that you may come across from the links provided !! Enough Said ..
If you take methadone under supervision from a doctor instead of street heroin, you are: ~
- more likely to be able to get away from the street 'drug scene'.
- are likely to feel better in yourself.
- are more likely to be able to get off drugs for good.

Methadone Support Poster
Alongside the Methadone Resources there’s also a large community of support forums available where patients and providers can interact with people going through the same things that they are and get some much needed support. There's also a PhD in Clinical Psychology that has worked with methadone patients for over 30 years available to answer your online questions.
