Another State Shows Rise in Methadone-Related Overdose Deaths

November 30, 2009 on 4:36 pm | In Uncategorized | 2 Comments

The Reuters news agency reported in early November that the state of Washington claimed methadone was involved in 64 percent of fatal overdoses of prescription opiates. This is yet another state where this is the case, yet even more money from our tax dollars has gone to support methadone programs with a Federally-funded methadone prescribing mentoring assistance service. Lunacy.

Methadone is a highly addictive and deadly drug that hurts more people than it helps in the long run. Like all drugs, there may be some medical uses, but the astronomically high number of overdose deaths associated with the drug calls for an outside inquiry into why the FDA and other government agencies not only continue to allow it’s wide usage but also promote it to people with chronic pain and opiate addictions.

If you or someone you know is has a methadone addiction and would like real help to get off with the help of a successful drug rehab center, contact us today by calling 1-877-421-9659.

  1. 64 percent is alarmingly high, this should be a number that the province of British Columbia should look at. Currently there is a program in progress to give free heroin or a legal substitute called Hydromorphone to the addicts in Vancouver. It is obvious from the numbers in the state of Washington this is not the route to take. “Help” it would seem should come from a successful drug rehab as you have stated.

  2. Hi….

    It is true that drug rehab is not easy, and fun, but you think this is the best place to people who do not want to live in a normal life back to the community.
