It does play merry havoc with teeth however, as it acidifies saliva, and makes people crave sweet things. Regular dentist checkups are essential.
But as far as bones go, it is a myth that it ''rots bones''....I think the myth gained popularity because the bones [especially the knees and legs] ache like hell in withdrawal.
But my bones are ok, as are the bones of other ''long term'' methadone-prescribed patients that I know. [all with many decades use, so if bones were to crumble, it would be theirs!]
