Unfortunately I very much disagree with your thought on this. Obviously you don't know very much abou methadone and the way it works because if taken correctly with a prescription from a licensed clinic or physician it does not affect a persons driving ability nor their ability to work. In fact, I think if you were ask the majority of people find that being on methadone has allowed them to be successful at their job and fulfilling education goals and completely getting a productive life back. I encourage you to do further research on this topic because there are so many people who have a skewed few on the benefits of methadone maintainence treatment programs. Not only that but a person CAN be a great nurse while being on methadone!
