Does Taking Methadone And Xanax Have Harmful Side Effects?

my 25 year old son ahs been taking oxies for years and put himself on the methadone program to come off these drugs. We just found out he has been taking Xanax as well which is why he has been nodding off on occasions. How can we get him to rehab to save his life?

Hi,

Please talk to his doctor on the methadone maintenance program regarding his use of Xanax. The staff at the methadone programs are trained in solving problems related to other addictions as well and will be able to guide you. Please also talk to your son and find out what he wants.

Best wishes.
