Can you drink after opiate addiction?
If you have an addiction problem, it is going to be up to you to decide what you can and cannot do. Being addicted to opiates may sound very different than being addicted to alcohol, but addictive thinking and behaviors are pretty much all the same. It doesn't matter that much what the substance is - an addiction is an addiction. That being said, if you are trying to overcome and opiate addiction, it's a petty bad idea to drink alcohol. Alcohol impairs your judgment tremendously. Not only are you at risk for drinking more heavily and replacing your opiate addiction with alcohol, but you are at risk for going back to opiates. If you drink too much, there is no telling what someone will do. If you are going to try to bet opiate addiction, my best advice would be to stay completely and totally clean and sober.

What does an addiction to morphine do to the users appearance?
There are tens of thousands of opiate addicts who mingle and interact with the non-addict population, including those on Methadone maintenance. The big dangers with opiate addictions are overdoses and dirty needles. There is very little physical deterioration directly associated with opiate addiction, and a person who is on a maintenance dose can function quite well. Morphine is simply another opiate. If addicts are able to take care of themselves physically (stay clean, get enough to eat, get medical care, etc.), there is no way to tell an opiate addict from a non-addict simply by looking. Behavior, of course, is another issue.
