While methadone is safer and more effective than people believe, and most of the myths about methadone are untrue, there are still many risks associated with taking methadone.
Curious about methadone's impact on memory? You're not alone. In this episode, Dr. Mark Leeds dives into the often misunderstood world of methadone treatment. With his extensive experience in addiction medicine, Dr. Leeds addresses the myths and facts surrounding methadone's effect on memory and brain function. While some concerns about memory loss have a basis in reality, much of the fear is overblown. Methadone remains a safe and effective medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for opioid addiction, offering a lifeline to many.
Dr. Leeds emphasizes that those on MAT can lead fulfilling lives, debunking the notion that methadone use equates to a diminished quality of life. He also covers the transition from methadone to suboxone, providing practical advice for anyone considering this switch. Additionally, the episode highlights the importance of relapse prevention and ongoing support after discontinuing MAT. Whether you're directly affected by opioid addiction or simply want to understand more about methadone, this episode offers valuable insights and compassionate guidance.
