Methadone has been the most wonderful thing ever. I am alive right now because I started it. So many people are scared of methadone buyt the much scarier thing is dying because of heroin. I tried rehab and all of that and it didnt work. Now that I am on Methadone I can live like a real person. My family believes in me. I am me again. And I cannot believe that Methadone isnt a box you can choose.
