Have you ever been to a methadone clinic? What do they do to you there?

02/12/2010 admin 4 comments

Due to the fact my back dr has me on a narcotic for my back and my family dr. has me on two narcotics for my headaches. I feel that I need to be in pain management. I was told by my nephew that his friends dad is on methadone for his cronic pain and that it is timed released. Point you don’t use as much and it is a lot better then what I am on and that it would help me not to become addicted to pain killers again.

I talked with my Dr. today and he is going to refer me to our local medthadone clinic . I was just wanting to know what all gones on their? I am kinda scared and I don’t scare easily. All
I know is they do regular drug test and their dosing hours are in the mornings.

Do they give the meds to you in pill form or a shot?
duh the pill has to desolve (dang spell check isn’t working sorry) in liquid I recall reading that now last night.

They give you a daily dose of liquid medicine, which you intake by drinking.

As far as I know, you just go in there, check with the people and they give you your dosage for the day.

Oh and if I recall correctly, they have the medicine in the form of a pill, but from what I’ve heard, the liquid medicine works best.

Heyyyyy……..I’m sorry to hear that …………The one thing I knew about the clinic was ……….That was where JUNKIES went to get their daily dose of Methadone to help them get over their addiction to HEROIN

Couldn’t your Dr prescribe you PHENTANAL Patches ………They come in different strenghts & they last 72 hours………Maybe you could check into that

Don’t know about Methadone.

I wear a pain patch with Fentanyl in it. It time-releases over a 3 day period and then I attach a new one. It takes the strongest edge of the pain off, but I can feel any new pain or health issues. Duragesic is the brand name – you can look it up on line and research it. I get a months worth and I will use it until my knees are fixed, I’ve been on it since Oct. 2002.

It always comes in a liquid. Its 100% worse for you than painkillers! I personally would NEVER go on it. It is so much harder to get off than painkillers, you get way sicker. If you fail any drug test then they will not give you take homes. But even if they do, I think you have to wait at least 6 months to get one take home, so you will be a slave to the clinic every single morning. If your doctor recommends it, then go for it, but I would never only because you will be sick for liek 3 weeks trying to come off it.
