Illicit drug abusers sometimes lead shadowy, secretive lives but when they decide to seek help for their addictions, information is often hard to find. FCR has compiled this list of resources because we understand how frightening and complicated chemical dependency issues can be and we believe having the right information is a large part of the recovery process.

Lack of information is the reason few people realize methadone treatment eliminates heroin withdrawal symptoms. Methadone treatment is one of the most effective methods available to detoxify heroin addicts despite the patient’s remaining physical dependence on the opiate and increased risk for methadone withdrawal complications. Like any therapy involving a controlled substance, methadone treatment is sometimes abused, setting the addict up for a more difficult and complicated methadone withdrawal than is normal.

These Methadone treatment and Methadone withdrawal facts are just a sample of the wealth of information you will find on this list. We hope it is helpful and as always, our national hotline is available 24 hours a day – 800-851-3291, because the more information FCR provides, the better decisions we and our clients will make.
