Question by kc: Is anyone out there on a methadone program and tired of being jerked around?
Are you on methadone? Tired of paying as much to be in “treatment” as you did on the streets? Tired of counselors who say “I can’t help you with that, my hands are tied?” Tired of the private clinic owners making tons of money off the suffering of others? Lets unite to stop this absurd practice of getting rich off someone’s illness. Stop them from making absurd rules and knowing we won’t unite to do anything about it!

Please if you are in “methadone treament” and have had enough, get in touch with me and lets try to change the pattern of the way we are treated!

it might not be, but with drugs you can never take the risk. if you have the slightest notion she is continuing through, you need to consult a doctor and get her to a drug rehabilitation center. drugs will ruin her life and all of those around her. help her while you can.

You did not mention which pain medication you are one. If you are on a narcotic and stopped 3 days ago, an are not having withdrawal symptoms, then congratulations.
