I am so sorry for your drastic loss!!

That number seem high, so unless it was a fluke, I think methadone might be particularly too casually accepted, overprescribed and misunderstood by the medical community in your area. It’s reputation for years had been as almost a wonder drug, a safe(r) alternative to illegal drugs and drug dependency, and that may be a factor.

Methadone danger, however, has become more high profile lately, mainly, I’m sorry to say, because of some high profile victims, but also because the actual statistics are startling enough be become publicized.

There is undoubtedly some degree of fault all along the line. The drug companies, the FDA, the medical community are understandably concerned with covering their own butts. but often, this is totally at the expense of losing even more human lives needlessly.

In more ways than one, probably the best thing you can do now is to become an activist on this issue. Then, your son’s life and senseless death
can become truly meaningful and somebody’s blessing. Take care of yourself.

Why Should You Choose A Christian Drug Treatment Center ? 1-855-885-8651 – A Christian drug treatment center can be the best place to recover from substance abuse for many people. Why should you choose this type of facility though? One reason is that according to the statistics a Christian drug treatment center typically has a much higher success rate than a rehab which does not address the spiritual component of substance abuse and addiction. Government run programs and public treatment centers have a very low success rate, and a high incidence of relapse after clients leave these programs. This is not the case with a Christian drug treatment center, and the relapse rates are extremely low because most people have a complete and permanent recovery. 1-855-885-8651 www.valiantrecovery.com
