Tell Your Doctor Everything!
Due to pride or shame humans do not tell their Doctors about what substances they are abusing, thus putting themselves at risk. If you have not done so, Tell Your Doctor Everything! If you have Told Your Doctor Everything then please tell us his reaction and how it helped you.
I agree one hundred percent. This is very important, critical if you are taking prescription medications on top of taking "street drugs" or are a chronic alcoholic. One of the combinations very commonly abused is benzodiazapines and methadone. While some people can transition off of heroin with methadone, others obtain the benzo cheaply on the street and have a "high" much like the heroin they're supposed to be getting off of. Tell your physician, folks!
