In this week's Novus Medical Detox Center Newsletter entitled “Methadone--A Killer”
Novus Director Steve Hayes explains how dangerous it is to give methadone for pain.
Mr. Hayes said, “Like OxyContin—legal heroin---and novocaine, or any other anesthesia, methadone does not in any way “treat” pain but just prevents the pain from being felt by the patient—for a time. To keep the body numb, you have to keep taking the narcotic—unless you actually handle the cause of the pain.”
Mr. Hayes explains why this increased use of methadone for pain is leading to increasing numbers of people dying from methadone overdose, and that we should be concentrating on methadone withdrawal, not putting more people on it.
