Ever wondered how methadone leaves your system? This episode of 'Recovery Partner Network' breaks down the fascinating process. Methadone, unlike other opioids like morphine and heroin, has a unique way of being excreted. It primarily exits the body through feces and urine, but when kidney issues are present, the hepatobiliary fecal pathway steps in to play a crucial role. If you're dealing with methadone treatment or supporting someone who is, understanding this elimination process can be eye-opening.
The hosts dive into the science behind it, explaining how methadone's journey through the body can vary depending on individual health conditions. Whether you're a patient, caregiver, or just curious about the workings of this medication, this episode offers valuable insights that are both informative and easy to grasp.
