methadone clinic locator

The problem I have is not being on the methadone, the problem is having to go to the meth clinic every single day to be dosed. I want to be able to get a prescription and pick up a monthly supply, once a month. Here in Bermuda doctors cannot prescribe methadone. I am actually going to be speaking with my personal physician on Monday to find out if he can prescribe suboxone or bupranorphine in place of the methadone.

I was in a methadone clinic for 3 yrs, the highest I was on was 55mg. For, the past yr I was under a regular physician, she wrote me my methadone, an attempt to help save money. I went down to 40mg a day, now with no warning she has informed me she cant refill my meds. I think she wrote to many scripts or something. But, I 've been wanting to come off for awhile now, but I'm terrified I've haven't been sober in 5 yrs!

Is there an alternative to going to the methadone clinic. I have a very dear friend that goes there and he is having some problems. For one he isn't sleeping and as of today he might lose his job. He fell asleep on lunch break and slept over by 13 minutes so they sent him home. If he loses his job he no longer can afford to go to the clinic, and that would mean he would have a greater chance of relapsing. Is there anything he can do that would help him sleep and keep him clean?

we have people on here who still keep going to the clinic and they clinic is giving them 1 or 2 mg it is a drop and the clinic convincing them to keep coming. it is a mind game. then you will be chained to the methadone clinic and that bottle. are you married?

I need help finding a free methadone clinic in tampa florida. My uncle is suicidal almost out of drugs freaking out that it is so near. He is currently using apprx 70 mg daily.

If you have any info please LMK.

I have been on methadone for 8 months to help with my cronic back pain. My docotr now says he doesn't twant to manage long term pain medication for cronic pain and i will have to find a new clinic. I want rto find onwe in my area where I'm not treated like a criminal for being in pain.

s just one, other times more. Your case is a no brainer though. Get yourself into a clinic or office and find out.

You all truly helped, pushed, and supported me to get this far. I know I have a long road to go, but for today I am great. My methadone clinic staff is awesome and full of support. I do not feel that they are trying to keep me there longer than I want or need to be there. My goal is to be totally sober by the end of July. That gives me PLENTY of time to taper down slowly. I am also looking into after care. I want to start going tro some NA meetings.

Ok I have a plan to jump at 5 mgs on Monday I take methadone at a clinic here in the US My plan was to pay daily I used to pay for 2 weeks at a time. So this morning my number was on the stop dose list (Friday is payday) I try to give the nurse money for one day and was told They have me ona schedule (thier schedule) to take me down to very small doses. They would not dose me u till I came up with a payment for 7 days. I think that is not rite.

Just try to keep in mind most of the time the methadone clinic is likly to be a step in the right direction. Has he at least started a taper? It is a slow process. Good luck.

i am go to the methadone clinic but i keep testing dirty for benzos can they just stop doseing me or will they do it slowely. i feel like i need the xanex but i don't have the money to dr. shop i want off of methadone but i want to do it the right way . i have to work and i know i cant go through withdraws and work. i live in Haltom city tx. if any body knows a dr. that will help me please let me know. the clinic told me today i have a staff meeting on Friday what does thay mean.

Both of these treatments are harm reduction or replacement therapy. I think methadone is better for longer periods of time and sub may be better for short detox but a lot of people would argue with me. I don't like sub for maintenece and it can be problamtic if someone has an emergency. Also it's not as good of a painkiller as methadone and doesn't satisfy a hard core addict as well as methadone. I feel that both drugs are overused and very addictive.

Welcome to the forum..I was in a methadone clinic here in Michigan...we were allowed to take pretty much anything if we had a rx for it..That is unfortunate that they don;t allow that..i am sorry..does your friend that gave you the "sample" take methadone? they tested for it at the clinic i was at to make sure it was in fact in your system..you need to really makes sure it is the right temp...I understand how bad it sux to not have take homes..Do you get a week?

thanx man i called the clinic and they keep transferring me until i got a voicemail for the nurses, i think they leave at noon, ill probably have to call on monday morning before ill know for sure, it is probably different from clinic to clinic id say im not sure

d have to go through methadone withdrawals. I had been having heroin cravings, which is why I went back to the methadone clinic about a month ago. I don't feel comfortable getting off the methadone right now. I've been under alot of stress at home and am afraid I'll turn back to the needle if I'm not taking methadone.

I have been a heavy opiate addict for quite a few years, 5 yrs on the street and then 3 and 1/2 at the methadone clinic. I have recently decided that I am ready to get off the clinic and start a new chapter in my life. This is not a decision I took lightly and while I believe methadone had a hand in saving my life, overall the drug makes me feel crappy. Lol, that the only way I can explain it! The worst of it being the weight gain. Ugh.

You would have to find a doc who does office methadone maintenence. A pain doc or clinic won't take someone from a clinic. I've been in this situation and it's a tough choice. You may have to make a tough choice or find a substitute drug.

I noticed I started having problems as soon as I started the Methadone Clinic, 3 yrs ago. I recently had an endoscopy and waiting on the biopsy results. I'm so sick of not being able to eat anything. I'm living off of oatmeal and can't over eat. But it's not over eating because I've been starving. I can only eat a small bowl of oatmeal before I take my methadone and then another small one for lunch.

I know what your talking about, but these are people who dont understand unless they were in our shoes.

m on cymbalta, which helps aliitke but my doctor wants me to goto the local pain clinic and get methadone purscribed there, instead if going to the clinic. So instead of me taking it for drug addiction I wound take it for pain relief. don't want to be on methadone forever but I feel like if I switch I may be on it for a long time, nut I'm terrified if I get of the methadone and they try to give me a narcotic, I'm gonna give in. I would love to hear what u guys have to say.

I have been addicted to lortabs and percocet for about 3 years. I have never really tried to get clean before because I didn't think it was a problem. But now I have lost everything job, house, car...its bad. I have a 6 year old son that I love more then anything but I can't even stop for him he has everything he needs but not all that he could because all my extra money goes to feed my addiction.

In august of 2010 I finally got hired into a new position, I really wanted things to change for me and I had a couple friends who had recently begun methadone maintenance for their opiate addiction and they encouraged me to give it a shot. It changed my life! No kidding, I obviously quit the pills, then I quit the pot so I could get split doses and take home methdone allowing me to spread my dose out so I didn't sweat so bad at work.

My son is going to the methadone clinic starting 5 days ago beginning on 30mg. 2nd day he went to 40 & stayed at the same dose. His dose time is 2:30 mon-fri. On weekends he has to dose at 6am. He got his normal dose today, unless the clinic made a mistake & gave him too much. He had to take it 16 hours after his last dose instead of 24 hours because of the clinic weekend hours. It is affecting him differently. He has been with me constantly so I am sure he has not taken any other drugs.

I've been on methadone for 6 months. And I loose everything. Keys credit cards anything I set down. Forget to do things. Sometimes I drop my mom off and drive home, forgetting to stop at the methadone clinic. The clinic says "I haven't heard of that". I'm on 80mg. Has anyone else experienced this as fast. I am really worried, my dad died 4 years ago. From glioblastoma, which is the worst type of brain cancer and one of the symptoms is short term memory loss.
