Chuck, my daughter was hospitalized for detox from heroin. Our personal family experience is this: she was medicated and it was unpleasant but nothing that she, and we, could not deal with. Methadone creates a dependency and also causes a plethora of medical problems and it is also very difficult to get off of. She chose to stay off methadone and is now healthy and doing very well in her life. I am only speaking from our experience and I wish you the best.
Thanks, spoc, for your concern for Chuckie! I hope he is reading all of this. I did not think that it would be good for him to search out all of the threads from others as I agree that everyone is different and they all relate differently to withdrawal and hospitalization. Pat
