How do you deal with cravings for heroine after being clean for 3 months Im also on the methadone program but the cravings are starting to get really bad?
I can only share from personal experience having been there, done that for almost 10 years and now clean for around 18. The cravings for heroin are like no other and the only way is to have help from fellow addicts who've some years of clean living under the belt. What also helps is to have a non-addict who understands the problem and who could offer newer perspectives and alternatives. That said, try exercising or getting into a physical rehab situation. The endorphins released through that route often help the recovering addict remain drug free. Note that there is a point where the cravings do get bad. But if you can breast that hill the rest becomes easier. But you must use a combination of forces which include counseling, exercise, diet, music, learning something new and generally keeping busy with activities most of us had forgotten. I have shared based on the presumption that you may have been using for around 10 years and using the intravenous route. Hope I've helped.

Jane is on a suboxone detox program for Oxycontin addition. She now wants to change to methadone. Could she be doing this to give herself logical explanation for positive drug test for opiates?
She would test positive for opiates on soboxone. Methadone has to be tested for specifically ......................... No SUboxone will NOT show up positive for opiates. It, like methadone, has to be specifically tested for. but if she was on a program I'm sure that they tested for everything. These drug test are not your normal "drug screen" they can tell the difference between hydrocoden, oxy, Suboxone, methadone, Ambian, just about anything. they also can test the level of each drug, "how much is in her system." so it is very likely that she could have failed a screen. I know some people switch to methadone because the suboxone doesn't always take care of the cravings and methadone does a better job because it is a full agonist. "works better"

Is methadome synthetic heroine?
Morphine describes a lot of different things. If you're talking about natural morphine extracted from opium, from somniferum poppys, your answer is no. If you mean morphine sulfate (prescription morphine pills), you would be half-right, because it's a semi-synthetic opioid. To the best if my knowlege the closest thing to a fully synthetic morphine would be dolophine (methadone).

Can you drink while you are on the Methodone program?
no, you shouldn't - alcohol and methadone are both sedatives and slow down your breathind, so there's a real danger of death if you drink too much. chemists won't dispense methadone to anyone who is obviously drunk and may breathalyse you, andif your doctor thinks you are likely to drink he will be unlikely to prescribe methadone, particularly at higher doses. having said that, clearly many people do drink whilst on methadone but they are taking a definite risk.
