METHADONE DOESN'T CURE ADDICTION

No matter how you paint a house, it's still a house. To say that
methadone treatment will cure all of the drug problems is total
nonsense. Whether it's a synthetic narcotic or an opioid, they are
still listed as drugs.

I have read and heard so much recently about "well I've been clean for
years now on methadone, so it really works." Get a life, people. If
you were really clean, then you would be on nothing. The bottom line
is an addict is an addict. All you do is replace their drug of choice
with one that is quickly trying to become politically correct. To say
that these drugs are prescribed and overseen on a daily basis by a
doctor is true in a sense. The thing is that if you dig a little
deeper, most of the time you find that the credentials are Ph.D.
instead of M.D. Both are "doctors" but who would you want treating you
if you were really sick or injured?

So whether it's a nondescript building or has a big sign out front
saying Pain/Medication Management Clinic they are still dealing drugs,
only legally. People need to wake and pay attention because that
growling noise that you hear at your door is not your neighbor's poodle.
