I was getting prescribed adderal for my add. My doctor talked about me signing a contract that says I can’t use drugs, ect. I never saw this contract. I then began going to methadone maintanance treatment center for my addition to drugs. I’d been sober for a month except for marijuana. I was nervouse to tell her about my addiction. But she was so nice and helpful on my first appointment with her so I decided not to worrie. On my next appointment to get my written prescription, she asked if I wanted to get a pregnancy test. I said sure. So I peed in a cup. On my next appointment she said I broke the contract. I said I didn’t sign one. She said I still broke it. She said there was methadone in my system and pot. She drug tested me when she told me she was pregnancy testing me. Is that legal?? I told her I was going to the methadone clinic. I gave her my paperwork. She instantly treated me differently. She was rude. I hadn’t smoked in a month. So there was still pot in my system. She said she would give me my script but next time there couldn’t be anything in my system. She then had me sign the contract. I filled my prescription. Next month I went to get it and I had to pee. For some reason the pot was still in there. It’d been almost two months since I smoked. She said ya it stays in your system for a long time. She never asked me what I was taking for methadone. You’d think my doctor would wanna know the milagrams I’m on. She tried saying I got my script already. Saying I had a few weeks of pills left. She had already made me wait a week before I saw her. I’d gone a week without my pills. She didn’t beleive me. I had to go to the pharmacy and get my log of prescriptions filled. I was right. I was suppose to get my prescription a week prior. It took four hours to get her to beleive me and right me the correctly dated script. She thought I was trying to get more pills. What made me upset was that she assumed I was drug seeking cause I’m in recovery.
