For the rest of your life? What crazy drug did you get yourself into?

Methadone is the most popular maintenance drug for opiate abuse and the relapse rate is around 90%. Many people on methadone/buprenorphine maintenance prefer to just stay on the program rather than come off.

It's just not the simple. The body fights back with a caloric reduction either through drowsiness, reduced thyroid, and hunger pains. The body wants to maintain. It's easy to posit so that some people's responses may be more intense than others.

It is that simple; it's just not easy . Having been there, yes, it was hard. But it was also worth it, and I didn't have to change my gut biome or epigenetics to do it.

Again, that was you. And your level of difficulty may not be equivalent to someone else's. Our responses can be different, some more intense than others.
