Democracyâs main contribution to war is to encourage minority groups that feel exploited by the majority to attempt to secede. The bullying majorityâlike any slave masterârarely lets its subjects go in peace, and thus war breaks out.
Methadoneâs Role in Heroin Rehab. Methadone isnât a âcureâ for heroin addiction, but it can be a lifesaver for opioid addicts who have tried to quit unsuccessfully. Methadone works by activating the same chemical receptors in the brain that respond to heroin.
Methadone was first marketed as âDolophineâ and was used as an analgesic (a painkiller) for the treatment of severe pain. It is still occasionally used for pain relief. Methadone is now primarily used today for the treatment of narcotic addiction. The effects of methadone are longer-lasting than those of morphine-based drugs. Methadoneâs effects can last up to 24 hours, thereby permitting administration only once a day in heroin detoxification and maintenance programs.
