My bf has been addicted to taking pain killers 11 years now and he has started a drug treatment program that allows you to take another pain killer drug legally called methadone…It’s not supposed to make you high just keep you from withdrawing..But it makes him really sleepy everyday that I can’t ever really talk to him. Do you think he will be addicted to this now forever or if he does get off of this will he go back to pain killers? HELP please I don’t like living with him like this!
