it seems i have been misinformed/ apparently combined alcohol and methadone use does not increase toxicity levels in the liver/ methadone alone causes no liver damage at all/ alcohol does cause irritation and damage to the liver and it is speculated that mmt patients are at higher risk of liver damage because a) hep c, which is common in previous iv users, causes liver damage and b) heavy drinking to 'top-up' the effects of methadone is also common/ i need not extrapolate/ i despair of the misinformed/ the individual who misinformed me read exactly the articles i just read and yet saw what simply was not there...
