    Find a Suboxone clinic in your area. It is used to get people off of methadone. It works very well, and will not become another monkey on your back. I've seen people change like night and day when they start the Suboxone treatments. It's awesome, and it's all done under a doctor's care. Hope this helps!

    Oh God...suboxone is as bad as methadone. Don't listen to these fools. It will be yet another gorilla on your back. Sub is another long acting opiate, very similar to methadone. The only advantage is you don;t have to go to a clinic every day to get it.

    There is a methadone section at this suboxone site...look for Arlene there and talk to her www.subsux.com

    Suboxone is your best bet. Its non-narcotic. Ha i know all about the morphine and methadone. I used to be all about it. lol. Thats weird though..morphine to methadone? Well methadone is synthetic heroin so of course its going to be hard to get off of and withdrawls suck.

    You should do this under the guidance of a doctor. They can help you with any side effects, which can be deadly.
