Methadone: Lifeline or Shackle? A Deep Dive with Del Bacon
“I really struggle with agreeing with people talking about methadone as it's a miracle drug. I think it's hurting people in the long run, and that's where I'm going to stay with it.”
Is methadone a lifesaver or just another form of dependency? In this thought-provoking episode of 'The Recovery Atheist', Del Bacon tackles the controversial use of methadone in addiction recovery. Known for his straightforward and no-nonsense style, Del examines both the upsides and downsides of this maintenance drug.
