Private Methadone Doctors (Top voted first)

Updated

Hello. I am a 26 year old male who has been struggling with opiate addiction for about a decade. Recently I tried the suboxone program which helped to a degree, but meds were way to expensive as well as the Drs appointment. So I am looking for help with my disease and I would like to know if methadone is the right route for me to go. Thanks

Hey red215 you seem very confident about doctors that can write methadone for pain. Please enlighten me on these woderful doctors that care enough that u want to take methadone to cotrol pain and not some type of opiates that mess with your head making it impossible to work. How can u support your family with out working. Methadone takes thebpain away and keeps you straight headed so u can work and no one can tell your taking something for your pain. If u know doctors that understand that we want to work and feed our families and not be in pain then by all means share the ones u know. GOD BLESS YOU.

hi! my name is jennifer and i am going to be 28 this year..last october 4th was my 2yr anniversery at the methadone clinic...and i would recommend this to anyone who has an opiode dependency (over suboxin.) i am a 10yr. opiate vet.& currently i am@150mg/day and along w/GREAT counselors & staff the methadone clinic has made all the difference in my life

I used to be an IV user somewhere around an approximate $200/day(like 500mg shots/morphine..heroin..roxies..dilladin..fentynal..you get the picture..& thats just one single shot..i reapeated this like 4-sumtimes10 times a day.) for just ME!! i was miserable hit rock bottom and lost everything(but my husband..and hopefully some sence of dignity was still hiddin inside me). Him and I found a clinic & have been clean since.You have 2B dedicated & willing to change..you need to be patient and allow yourself time to adapt to the methadone and find your theraputic dose(thats whut they call it)but when you do..its a wonderful outcome..i have my life back, i mean its been 2yrs & STILL counting, however, i am just now re-learning about me! who i am, where ive been, where i wanna go, & so on and so forth.You must be willing to re-build yourself.. everything!-again..and all it takes is that one moment of "IM DONE!! I CAN DO THIS! I WILL DO THIS!!"and BAM!! take a look at what you've done!! :0)

Dr.s can not write out prescriptions for methadone out of a private office for dependancy...It is against the law..My brother is a dr. so sorry to tell you but they can not. They can only write it for pain control. I do not know where you are from but if there is a dr. doing that he or she is doing so illegally. I have been to many dr.s who did not want to do it period just because it was methadone and I was in a car accident with a spinal cord injury with my right leg still paralyzed and spent 1 month in the hospital after 10 hours of surgery on my back and then 2 months in a rehab to try to learn to walk. Sorry to tell you but they CAN NOT.

Methadone is one of the cheapest pain meds out there, I have been on it for 7 years and it is very hard to come off of. I had a house fire and had to go without for almost four days and thought I was going to die. From the pain and the withdrawl. Unless you get it for pain you will have to go to a clinic. Doctors are not allowed to prescribe it for anything but pain. I hear clinics can be expensive, but if you are spending the money on drugs anyway this would be a much better route, good luck

Not in the US they can't. If you or anyone you know are getting methadone for addiction then you should find a clinic because if your doctor gets caught he will lose his liesence and probably go to prison..The only
Way that you can legally get methadone for addiction is at a methadone clinic

No you do not want methadone. I've been on methadone and pain pills and only tried suboxone recently. It is very expensive but there's also clinics that you can go to that help you out with that part, you just have to be willing to go through the b***** they want you to go through. Please do not screw with methadone as the come off of is worse than other opiates and it all sucks. I believe I'll always be addicted to opiates, blah.

Methadone does help many people and it can be cheaper than Suboxone, however, you will more than likely still have to visit a doctor or clinic regularly.

The main drawback to Methadone is that it can also be quite an addictive substance and people that is use it usually end up requiring a lifetime maintenance dose of it, while Suboxone can be slowly tapered and enable the person to eventually become completely drug free.

Have you tried consulting a doctor for advice?

Hey...does anyone know of any doctors on Long Island that prescribes methadone and hopefully takes Medicare?...I've been on it for years now after being on other heavy duty pain meds due to back injuries from a MVA and terrible arthritis and it has helped...all of sudden this past week when I went to my doctor appt. he said he couldn't prescribe methadone anymore out of the blue...I'm guessing he had problems with other patients or something but left me with no options...he's always been kind of a nasty jerk lol, and I have never been in trouble with meds and never run out early or anything like that...PLEASE HELP ASAP!

that my friend is no lie. Dr.'s are no longer allowed to write methadone for anything but pain and it is very regulated, they only write the 10mg. tablets in subsequent doses as needed for pain but are no longer allowed to write the wafers,liquid,methadose forms.

why do you jump in with the same reply constantly??????? There are doctors that can make it work on paper if they care an know your not an i**** and need help. So your brother is a doctor, whooppee....... Take a chill pill. Some people just need pointed in the right direction, and I certainly wouldn't post the Docs name and info, do it privately. I happen to know this for a fact, not lately but it does happen. I haven't needed one until recently. So now I'm here doing some reading.
