Avatar n tn Hi! & Welcome, As everyone else has asked - How's she doing? There's an anti-dote to opiate overdose, including Methadone called Naltrexone.

Avatar n tn For this reason people who overdose on methadone often actually do so as much as a day or two after they took it." ------------------ i'm sorry you lost your brother -- the disease of addiction takes far too many. sadly, most of the deaths could be avoided if we addicts had the capacity to realize just how much trouble we were in and how badly we needed help. for most of us, by the time we think our feet MIGHT be getting wet, we're already in over out heads.
