Our family has confronted him about this and he says he wants to get off the methadone. He thinks if he goes through rapid detox to get off the methadone and then goes to a counseler - all will be well. Any thoughts or suggestions? I don't want to see my family pay 10K for a treatment that doesn't work or just addresses the chemical part of the addiction.
Has anyone done Rappid Detox for a small amount of Methadone AKA: MethaDeath? I'm talking about those last few .mg 5mg and lower. Seems like no big deal but at my age my body can't take the slow lengthy tapering down by a fifth of a .mg every few two weeks. I've tried numerous times with the same results, extream weakness all the usual suspects. But worst of all is the increased Depression. I've been battling clinical depression for most of my life.
I called Rapid Detox as well as local rehabs in the area, no one will take me until I am off Methadone, Dr yee explained that the oh thank goodness i still dont know about telling my pops because he just got out of the hospital friday but will see how things work and yes uncle harold is like pops the energizer bunny they keep going lol hides in the body and the half time is 7 days, calculated to 2 months before it is out of the system, there fore Rapid Detox will not work on Methadone unless
I live in the Tampa area and I met a nurse who told me she went there for rapid detox and she raved about the doctor. She said he's one of the best in the world. She had a little store in Brooksville and I was shopping there with my friends when she just started talking about it. She had no idea that I would be interested and my friends don't know that my husband is on methadone. I've been thinking about going back to that store and asking her more questions.
s almost impossible to get off methadone on your own. We live in Tampa, Florida and there is a well-known rapid detox center near us. He called them and it would cost $15,000 to go there. We can come up with it, but that's a lot of money to us.
It might be worth it, but I worry that once he's off the methadone he'll start to feel the pain that drove him to abusing drugs in the first place.
Is there anyone out there who has tried the rapid detox either under anesthesia, or another type of rapid detox (the coleman institute), where they don't put you under, but it still involves the naltrexone implant? I'm thinking about trying this once I get down to a lower dose but I've read so many mixed reviews about someone who knew someone, etc. Is there anyone who has personal experience with rapid detox from methadone who can shed some light on this procedure for me?
Please see a physician for a rapid detox protocol. This is extremely important in terms of your job. It documents your taking steps to end the habit. There are several detox protocols, the most effective of which require several days of hospitalization. Remember you can be fired years down the line for making false statements in many jobs. Good luck.
Even an expensive rapid detox will not solve the major problem. And that is most likely psychological to a great extent. You are at that point where you are simply chasing the dragon quite often. Its a point of diminishing returns, for sure. Many show up here for a few weeks - and many of those people come back and relate how they messed up and became addicted yet again. There is no rapid magic fix.....sorry, it just doesnt happen with this issue. Just quiting the narcotics is the easy part....
It's called rapid detox or the Wiessman Method. They sedate you and flush a solution through your blood to clean it of drugs. It can be dangerous and I have seen a high relapse ratio. I know of one person who is successful so far after rapid detox. they got home f eelinh great. the next day the anxiety and depression hit hard. He had lots of support when he got out. I feel the same about rehab, it's a good first step, but you need to have more than that.
He has countless times tried to request a rapid detox and/or inpatient treatment. Bottom line is they say there is no inpatient detox and they will not assist or refer him to get some type of rapid detox. I am blown away that the same people/organization that put him on the program are not offering some type of detox from the medication they are giving him. Methadone has pretty much dictated his life and he has thought long and hard and does NOT want to be dependent on it or any other drug.
