Getting Methadone Prescribed To Treat A Heroin Addiction
UpdatedIve been addicted to heroin for 8 years and ive detoxed and relapsed numerous times. Last year the suboxone really helped but its not working for me now, its only making me feel worse. I just recently did a week locked up on rikers island and they had me on methadone and tapered me off it. I really do not want to go on the maintenance program for a couple reasons, one, they totally dose you up on it and I dont want to be hooked on that taking over 100mg a day and sleeping in my soup and two, its not close to me, i would have to drive 25 mins every morning to go up there. I know a couple people who get meth prescribed by a doctor which is what i would like to do so i could start at a reasonable dose lilke maybe 60mg and the just be tapered off it under the supervision of a doctor. Does anyone know if this is possible and where I could find a doctor who could do that around where i live? Im in rockland county ny about 25 min upstate from manhattan.

The most they'll start you on is 30, an raise you till they find a reasonable dose for you. You must document a min of 2 years of usage and although im not condoning this, but id gi there high. I tried evereything before there everything before breaking the taboo of methedone. It finally didnd matter to me i went up to 70 Mg and could functoin completely normal, but everyines different. In all honesty i would be dead if it wasnt for methadone. Well good luck and best wishes
