While Methadone Maintenance Therapy is a legitimate medication for treating heroin addiction by reducing cravings and minimizing/eliminating heroin withdrawal symptoms, Methadone is not without its own list of potential side effects.  Vitadone is a supplement that can be used to offset some of the commonly reported side effects associated with Methadone.  Vitadone is a sister supplement to Nutridone.

How Does Vitadone Work?

Vitadone assists in reducing sugar cravings, sweats, fatigue, and irregularity with bowel movements. Just like Nutridone, Vitadone contains no iron.  Thus, Vitadone is considered a safe product for someone who is diagnosed with Hepatitis C

Vitadone is an over the counter supplement, and can also be taken by those not in a medication assisted treatment (MAT) program.  It can even be taken after Methadone treatment has ended as it can provide nutrition that the body may lack due to lack of good nutrition and/or better dietary guidelines.  Vitadone possesses no side effects and is …

Kill the Heroin Epidemic Nationwide™ is contacted on a daily basis by people who need immediate help, treatment and recovery.  A percentage of these men and women don’t have insurance and don’t have any money.  What deeply saddens us is that most of these people are turned away by most organizations because they know there’s no money in helping them.  Many “referral” services and/or organizations get paid for each individual they send to one of their treatment centers.  Others get paid on a monthly basis.  We understand that every organization needs funding in order to continue helping people.  But would it kill them to pick up a phone every now and again in order to try helping an addict who needs immediate help without insurance and money to get into a government / publicly funded “free” drug rehab and/or into detox?

“Hi my name is Zach and I am an addict. I guess it all started when I was 12 years old. One day my friend Ryan and I got the random idea to go and smoke week. So we found some and I thought it was awesome. I went to school and was bragging about it. I was like the only kid smoking week then so I thought I was cool.

“We all know that addiction is a disease of the mind, body and spirit – but what if I were to tell you it was a disease of the gut as well? Despite the persistent emphasis on socioeconomic factors and repressed psychological experiences playing into our substance abuse disorders, we contend that the gut brain axis is responsible for a large majority of addiction cases.

Why exactly is this so? Well for one it is well known among doctors in both Western based allopathic medicine, and …

Those suffering from heroin addiction know first-hand how powerful and alluring heroin can be.  It creates a feeling of euphoria like few others but after only a short while, re-creating the same experience takes a lot more heroin and a lot more money.  After more time goes by, the temporary state of elation heroin creates is long one and the primary reason people use heroin is to prevent painful withdrawal symptoms that come from being dependent on heroin.

Heroin withdrawal isn’t pretty.  Rarely is withdrawal from opiates or heroin fatal but having experienced it personally, it’s one of the most horrifying existential experiences the mind and body can go through.  One of our heroin addiction & recovery discussion forum members sent us a message explaining their experience related to heroin withdrawal symptoms.  Their experience is below.

“Heroin withdrawal isn’t like any illness or sickness I’ve ever experienced.  When …

high-expectations-are-key-to-everything

Men and women suffering from addiction need the best treatment to ensure successful, long-term recovery, health and wellness.  Regrettably, not all addiction treatment centers and drug rehabs are run by dedicated, passionate and ethical individuals or staff.  Thus, those suffering from drug, opiate and/or heroin addiction need to be careful when selecting a drug rehab.

There are a lot of websites and organizations that list drug rehabs and addiction treatment centers.  However, these “listings” don’t mean anything if the only criteria for including them is the amount of money they are willing to pay to be included on their website.  So how can friends, family members and heroin addicts themselves be sure that the addiction treatment center or drug rehab they’re considering or have selected is doing top notch recovery work?  How can you be sure that staff members are truly skilled, caring, educated and passionate people who care more …
