Methadone is a synthetic, long release opioid used to treat chronic pain along with addiction to heroine and opioid drugs. Doctors are using a drug, to treat drug addiction. Only this is done in a safe and measured way such that the user is slowly weened off the drug. Being prescribed methadone by a doctor can help reduce cravings or urges to use illicit drugs (heroine) and can also stabilize individuals so that they can get their lives back.
There have been a lot of success stories from proper and monitored methadone use. People who were once addicts and in a dark place see the light and are able to rehabilitate and return to living a positive and productive life. They are able to successfully reintegrate into society and function properly. It’s no longer the drugs talking. People have regained their lives.
Methadone dispensing is monitored by a doctor, and dispensed by a regulated health care professional like a pharmacist. These are people who have been trained to know what they’re doing. Because if they don’t, or if they make a mistake, there can be terrible consequences.
Unfortunately, our law firm Goldfinger Injury Lawyers is seeing the consequences of what happens when methadone clinics aren’t properly doing their jobs.
What do we mean by this? How is it that a methadone clinic isn’t doing their job?
