This ensures a slow but comfortable withdrawal process. Once you establish time in the program, you may become eligible for take home doses which helps to relieve the daily methadone clinic trips, but, this could take up to a year or more and is determined on a case by case basis. My opinion, but lots of experience to back that up.
They were METHADONE DISKETTES 40MG, they also had DOLOPHINE 5MG and 10MG. Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment Of Fertility Carcinogenesis The results of carcinogenicity assessment in B6C2F1 mice and Fischer 344 rats following dietary administration of two doses of methadone HCl have been published. Many people receive this treatment through a methadone clinic or rehab facility. In another study, a single subcutaneous dose of 22 to 24 mg/kg methadone (estimated exposure was approximately equivalent to a human daily oral dose of 120 mg/day on a mg/m² basis) administered on day 9 of gestation in mice also produced exencephaly in 11% of the embryos. The liquid form is the most common as it allows for smaller dose changes. Thus, methadone should not be stopped without first consulting with the doctor.
Will there be any interactions or withdrawls that I need to worry about? Then, over time, tolerance increases with the new opioid, requiring higher doses.

Methadone mimics some of the effects of heroin by acting on the same receiving centers in the brain. Methadone pills often contain talc[55][56] that, when injected, produces a swarm of tiny solid particles in the blood, causing numerous minor blood clots. Methadone has been detected in amniotic fluid and cord plasma at concentrations proportional to maternal plasma and in newborn urine at lower concentrations than corresponding maternal urine. Methadone Side Effects Despite the many benefits of methadone treatment, there are side effects that could come into playing during use. A medical examination is given prior to administration of the methadone, and new patients are often tested for certain conditions which are known to be prevalent in addict populations, such as HIV, hepatitis, and tuberculosis. Methadone clinics in the United States operate under close federal observation and regulation. So a dose 100 times that, taken by someone not tolerant to it, can actually kill bypassing any "high" or euphoria, will reduce oxygen to brain and other organs, lower heart rate, and depress respiration after taking such a dose. Then it is time to rotate again to another opioid.
