Facts |
Methadone is a man-made narcotic used to help people with addictions to opioid drugs (opium, codeine, heroin, morphine).
Methadone overdose is a serious medical emergency. In the event of suspected overdose call an ambulance. If the person is losing consciousness lie them on their side in the recovery position so that they will not choke if they vomit.
Reports have emerged that more and more patients are asking for methadone by name, particularly at pain management clinics.
Using morphine breaks down ligaments, tendons, and cartilage in the body.

Morphine
Addiction
Morphine's euphoric effects tend
to cause many individuals to develop a Morphine addiction. Tolerance (the need
for higher and higher doses to maintain the same effect), as well as physical
and psychological Morphine addiction, develop quickly.
Addictive drugs, such as Morphine,
activate the brain’s reward systems. The promise of reward is very intense,
causing the individual to crave Morphine and to focus his or her activities
around taking Morphine. The ability of Morphine to strongly activate the brain
reward mechanisms and its ability to chemically alter the normal functioning
of these systems can produce a Morphine addiction. Morphine also reduces a person’s
level of consciousness, harming the ability to think or be fully aware of present
surroundings.
Individuals with a Morphine
addiction may lose interest in daily activities and report loss of energy and
boredom. Individuals who have acquired a Morphine addiction may develop problems
with their jobs and personal relationships. Like other drug addictions, Morphine
can become the most important aspect of their lives. Morphine addiction often
costs addicts $100-$200 a day, which can cause addicts to quickly turn to lives
of shoplifting, burglary, theft, drug dealing, and prostitution to support their
Morphine addiction.
