  1. 1. alani ts Says:

    Methadone is the drug usually used for heroin addiction. Medication is needed in order to return the body and brain’s functioning back to its normal, healthy state. It also suppresses withdrawal symptoms and relieves craving, thus keeping the patient from wanting to take heroin again. Other medications used for addiction treatment are buprenorphine, naltrexone, and naloxone (for cases of overdose). There are also some other drugs that are being studied by experts to determine if they will be effective in the treatment of heroin addiction.

    Modern medicine has shied away from rehab drugs as most have ended up being used as recreation drugs themselves, morphine was used on alcoholics, cocaine on morphine addicts, heroin on cocaine addicts, methadone on heroin addicts.
