Methadonia

“Methadonia” is a borderland of recovering heroin addicts on methadone maintenance. It’s a place where the seasons run together into one long rainy spell between an oblivious past and a receding future. Addicts pass the time on benzos and other prescription drugs that enhance the methadone, but that also keeps them stuck in a gray area between addiction and Straightland. “Methadonia” is about the elusive nature of recovery and the lifelong grip of addiction. But it’s also about men and women who stir with memories of themselves and hope they will wake up one morning, have a cup of coffee, and not think about getting high.
