waitit works as an opioid that binds to your receptor but doesn't do the same downstream signaling to make you high. so it makes you go into much less of a withdrawal (supposedly) which is awesome because opioid withdrawal can be extremely painful both emotionally and physically. when you withdraw from a drug it just has the opposite effect as if you took the drug so imagine the opposite of euphoria i guess. as someone who has never used methadone but has known a handful of people who have i have mixed feelings. very cool and extremely important that we have a drug that can make the opioid withdrawals less terrible and we can make recovery easier <3. on the other hand fuck a methadone clinic that doesn't help people wean off of the drug and takes advantage of their client base which already has a complex relationship with the healthcare system. not taking stars off of methadone for that because its methadones fault fr. but we need to support our folks in addiction and recovery <3
