The pro methadone-opioid argument falls apart when you talk to people who have recovered from the addiction to them. I have several friends who are in recovery from & been abstinent from opioids & benzodiazepines for many years & they adamantly say that abstinence is the only way to truly recover from the addiction.
Another reason to take psychotropic drugs only as a last resort is because many of them are dangerously addictive and can have nasty side effects.
