Is it true that methadone's original name was "Adolphine"? (Named after the Austrian guy with the Charlie Chaplin mustache?)

Methadone Maintenance Therapy (MMT) has saved countless lives of people with Opioid Use Disorder. Few people know the fascinating history behind MMT, which begins in the fires of WWII.

YouTube is my hobby but medicine is my job. When I'm not editing YouTube videos, I run a clinic which provides medical treatment for people with substance use disorder called North Tampa Executive Health.

If you or someone you love is suffering from problematic drug or alcohol use or addiction and is seeking treatment, contact us today.

We are here to help.

North Tampa Executive Health Clinic is directed by Dr. Jack McGeachy. He provides confidential and comfortable addiction treatments and therapy for opioid and alcohol use disorder. Rather than a rehab or detox, meaning that each patient is cared for oneonone by a medical doctor, in contrast to other treatment programs.
