Hello my first time here!!

Please bare with me it has been awhile since I have chatted on here, I am in my fourth month of methadone treatment for opiate addiction and did not realize I was changing one addiction for another until after I had started this nitemare. I have been blessed with a wonderful Dr., though who is easing me off the methadone now, next month I will be on my last 30 days of treatment. So, I guess although I am feeling confident over my opiate addiction, I have yet an even bigger hill to face yet in the next 30 dys, but feel confident I will conquer!!

Welcome to SR.
Though you changed one for the other, one is under a Dr's guidance and allows a slow change rather then cold turkey. I know a few who have done it both ways and there are many opinions. Each person does what works for them. A friend used the treatments and has done well by it.
When you follow the plan and work the program...it does work.
