Methadone therepy question....?


hypothetically speaking how does one get started on this treatment? I've been on pain meds for a few years I recently tried not taking my meds and after about 24hrs I started not feeling very well and by 36hrs I was so sick everyone thought I had the flu which is what it felt like... I could not take it anymore and started taking my meds again within about an hour I was healthy again. I can not believe how sick I got..... people suggested methadone not subutex cuz the fact I have cronic pain so methadone may be my best choice as I still need pain controlled and methadone will do both control pain plus help me stop the oxycodone meds. Is this true?
Can I just walk into a methadone clinic myself and talk to someone about my situation? Will they start treatment that day if I tell them I am out of meds and do not want anymore refills and I am in withdrawl. How does this work? Do I need my Dr. to send me for insurance to cover...I can't miss work though.

Walk into a methadone clinic and talk to someone about your situation, and hopefully someone can help you there. Not sure if your insurance will cover. Depends on the policy.

The methadone will control pain, plus eliminate the need for other opiates. However, good luck getting off the methadone. It is as addictive as heroin. You will probably need the help of a pro to get off it. Good luck.

i suggest you visit your doctor,get a referral for the methadone clinic,i thing you are doing the right thing,do it now while it is fresh in your mind

most methadone clinics you need to go there daily for your drink and they open early enough so you can get to work You earn take home bottles with clean urine and yes call first cause the doctor is not always in those place you will need to see him first i suggest suboxone to get offf the pain pills im doing it now email me if you want

Do not go to a methadone clinic. Most of them ignore your symptoms if you have a reaction to the methadone. My brother died from a mmt(methadone maintnence clinic) after the 5th day. He was taking nothing extra. Please whatever you do, do not go to a mmt, they kill. END OF STORY! If you would like to know more, go to my brothers memorial site.(http://www.matthew-fielder.memory-of.com...

This may sound harsh, but if you dont want to end up dead. I highly encourage you not to treat your addiction with methadone...

Thanks,
