Facts

  • Methadone used in opiate maintenance therapy was originally developed to help obliterate withdrawal symptoms and support a healthy lifestyle. However, the effects of withdrawal far exceed that of heroin which causes the individual to become addicted to it instead.
  • Morphine is one of the most effective drugs in use today to treat severe pain in clinical settings, and remains the standard against which the newer analgesics are measured.
  • Methamphetamine may dry mucosa which may then lead to more chafing and abrasions in the genital area, which could make methamphetamine users more susceptible to HIV during sexual activity.
  • Prescription narcotics such as Lortab are often not perceived as dangerous as illicit street drugs, and don't carry the same stigma as illicit opiates like heroin, a primary reason it is abused.
