Thanks for linking to that. I have the same experience with the addict in my life. They never went to a "methadone clinic", but they take doses of it daily, from home. They are subject to random urine tests and can only pick up a limited amount of their prescription at a time.
I know those urine test can be beaten somehow because the person I know has been on Methadone for years and years and has not been clean throughout that time period (they have let us know). I'm not sure how they get around this.
I have my concerns about methadone as I know they are still under the influence of a powerful drug and still not the happy, clear headed, self they once were.
We want to welcome you to our blog. This blog is principally going to be about parenting a drug addict. However as parents of drug addicts know they take up about 85% of your time, worry and stress, but there are other good things going on too.
My wish and goal for this blog is that maybe we can help you or you can help us. Feel free to e-mail us if you wish to comment or want to chat personally. Please if you want to post comments (good, bad, or indifferent) they will be very much appreciated.
Dad and Mom are parents of 3 and grandparents of three. Our oldest is the manager of Pediatrics at one of the top medical centers in the nation, the middle daughter takes care of our granddaughter and a couple other precious children. Our youngest is troubled with an addiction to drugs but is currently over 2.5 years clear and sober working at a company principally involved in foam and foam fabrication. Our blog is about his addiction and parenting an addict.
Please if you want to stay in touch become a follower. We are adding posts and people are commenting. Feel free to forward this link to anyone you think may be interested or need someone to chat with about these issues. To those that are FOLLOWERS, Thank You
