An article in the New Hampshire Daily News reported another death from methadone. The victim was Christopher L’Esperance, a police chief’s son. He took a methadone wafer, not realizing that he still had methadone in his system, and died from an overdose. Chris had been using methadone for three years. Had he done a successful drug rehab program, he’d probably be alive today. And anyone who is taking methadone should be made aware of the dangers immediately, and gotten into a drug rehab program that can help them get off the drug.

Chris’s father, unlike others, didn’t believe methadone was safe. “On television there are ads for every kind of pill,” he said. “You have a pill to go to sleep, a pill to wake up, a pill to feel good, a pill to enhance your you-know-what. It certainly gives the impression prescription drugs are safer.”

He knew his son was taking drugs because his eyes were glassy and his temperament changed. But despite everything his parents did to help, Chris couldn’t kick the habit.

But it can be done. And if you or someone you care about is suffering from methadone addiction, find a successful drug rehab program fast. Don’t be fooled by prescription drugs: prescription drug addiction is just as dangerous as anything you’ll find on the street.
