Methadone is a prescribed medication for harm reduction and becomes it's own addiction with a greater emphasis on the physical withdrawal aspect and psychological will be involved with the facing the pain faction but once a person is clean of drugs and alcohol there must be medical assistance to withdraw from methadone. The current methodology is for the person to withdraw by a process of taper and without any additional medical assistance i.e. medication for the agitation that with all I am sure it is different occurs.

Maybe Even Security, I am willing to start out at the bottom, or go through courses or college to get a certificate if that will help, If anyone has ideas or advice Id really appreciate it. And please no rude answers or answers of " find another career choice" obviously that is an option but i don't need it stated as I know this but I would like to follow my current choice.

Question about methadone addiction?
How difficult is it to cease a methadone habit? My brother is 21 years old and he is destroying our family. He is enrolled in an outpatient methadone maintenance program, and has been for 5 years now. He abuses the program, and has begun to steal from our family including myself. He claims there is no way he can quit taking methadone, let alone quit using drugs altogether. He acts as if he were to not dose at the clinic one day that he would land in the ER. We come from a very wealthy family, and none of us understand him. What is the best way to help him. How do you save someone that does not want to be saved. If you say anything to him he gives you a big speech about how " you don't understand." Why he chose to use drugs is beyond me, he has everything but my family's patience is wearing very thin. He lives in a 2 million dollar home that he purchased with the families money. Something has got to change, and I love my brother and want to help him. He uses mixes his methadone with alprazolam, and from what I hear that can kill you.
