methadone clinic

remember when i say the blogger is lazy. now u see so many updates in this blog. such irony isnt it? the truth is i got this bad habit. i tend to blog a lot everytime my life is at its busiest. for instance during exams periods in uni years and now to finish up my research. blogging is like a break i take between working. for a part i finish doing, i reward myself by blogging. i could watch a movie or play some games in a way to reward myself but that would be too much distraction and addiction. i might be hooked up with the games and ended up not doing my work. so blogging is a moderation of relaxing and freshing up my mind.

talking about addiction, i went to do methadone clinic last week. it was my first time seeing methadone and dispensing it because back in my hospital, we dont have such clinics. i dont know why but i always thought methadone was red in colour. its was dark brown in colour and not appealing at all. anyway drug abusers were a whole different species of human i must say. whatever that came out of their mouths were pure rubbish. they were so good that if you dont know they were drug abusers, u might just be conned by them. we caught one of them trying to leave without swallowing the medicine. god knows what they will do if they ever succeed leaving with the medicine. they might spit out the methadone, evaporate then dilute it to more concentrated and inject to themselves which have stronger effects. now why am i teaching on how to abuse drugs. jeez. anyway there was another guy that we manage to chat up with. it was amazing to realize how much knowlegde they know on abusive drugs than we do. they know the difference of each of the abussive drugs and its effects, the price, how to administer and how to synergistic the effect in combining drugs. they even know its generic name! @_@ dont be surprise if they ask to reduce their methadone dose. its just a way so that they can take other drugs for the euphoria effects and also not overdosing. And u thought the programme is working. how wrong u r. for them to be off the drug completely will take years and years of treatment. drug abusers mention here are refer to the the majority. there are minority that really want to get off the habit i believe. methadone program for most ppl perceptive is just a wastage of money but in order to curb crime and reduce harm, the program must go on. i believe there is more going on behind this program. that is all we can do for this problem unless someone come up with a better solution. thats it for now. update next time.
