My Husbands Physical Medicine Doctor is prescribing him Methadone!?

They put him on Methadone to relieve the withdrawal symptoms for the Vicodin. Vicodin is not a good solution for chronic pain, since they are sending him pain management they are obviously trying to try something different than just using drugs. People taking Vicodin or any other narcotic for long periods of time just become physically addicted and eventually need larger doses to get the same pain relief. Even if he has only been taking small doses everyday, he is already physically addicted.
