Can someone please tell me if there are any short term or long term side effects from the Methadone. Does it affect your bones or teeth in anyway? Are there any organs it can harm? Please any info is appreciated.

Diana,
Here is a web site that should be able to answer your question
Addiction Treatment Watchdog (atwatchdog.org)
This educational web site is geared to the needs of patients on medications for opiate addiction. It has a Clinic Report database and submittal form for reporting on the quality of treatment at specific methadone clinics, a section on clinic complaints, a resource section which includes Methadone Advocacy Organizations, a Methadone Watchdog section which answers questions on methadone maintenance, a chat room and two message boards (one for those in recovery and one for friends and families seeking information on opiate addiction).
Good luck,
Lucia
