Resolved Question: Can any place other than a Methadone Clinic have you on Methadone Maintainence?
I have been on Methadone Maintainence for 30 years. When I first started in the State of Georgia it was $ 3.00 daily. Now it is upwards of $ 400 per month without insurance covering you. I did not get addicted by my own hand. I was in an auto accident and for 3 straight month’s the Dr. had a Morphine drip in my vein. I came out of the hospital a Narcotics addict. Now I am in a catch 22. If I pay for the meds, I will have to be homeless because I dont get paid enough….and I HAVE TO HAVE THE MEDICINE FOR MY LIVILIHOOD. Trust me, you CAN’T “JUST SAY NO”…many have tried end anded up saying “bang, bang”. Can anyone help me out of this crisis [I am using this word in the most literal sense] ? Please, if you know of a cheaper Dr. or clinic, wherever it may be in the US, please help me. I am 59 and I absolutely dont think my body can withstand a withdrawal. Thank you from deep within, Art Cohen [email protected]

Typically a person is either weaned slowly over the course of four to six months probably longer or they are converted to another medication and later subjected to the more standard subutex or suboxone detox but coming off methadone is possible and is possible to do so safely, however coming off methadone is more difficult that much is true. It’s also higher risk for having post acute withdrawal symptoms which is a lower grade state of withdrawal that drags for weeks to months but again If that happens there are also things that can be done to resolve that. Now let’s talk about some of the urban legends that are not true, methadone rots your teeth this is one of the more famous legends that really is not true, it really does not rot your teeth. Now how methadone is taken in the methadone clinic can affect your dental care though and your dental hygiene. Now a lot of this first stuff has to do with clients of the …
