Dr. Who Can Prescribe Methadone (Page 3)

I have just moved to Harrisburg, PA. I found a pain management clinic who will prescribe my methadone (I have been taking Methadone for pain management for 5-6 years), however they have asked that I find another doctor. I was told by pain management clinic that I am the only patient they prescribe methadone for. Does anyone know of a doctor in the Harrisburg, PA area that prescribes methadone for pain management?

I am a resident in Portsmouth Virginia,I also attend the methadone clinic, for treatment ,I've been on it for several years , if I can find a doctor, it would be greatly appreciated, because it's a lot of hassle going to the clinic,
where as, if you get it from a
doctor, you only have to go once, every 3 months, it's also a lot cheaper, if you could help me to find a doctor that prescribes it would truly be a blessing.

Dear MMT, Wow! I am shocked at your post. I am impressed with the people on here that are trying to get help for themselves. I'm wondering how you feel about a cancer patient that used to smoke. Do they deserve to suffer and be in pain because of a disease they have? Should we tell them they deserve the disease they have because they smoked? Should we not get them any help even when they ask for it? You are entitled to your opinion however, you should probably check your facts about the disease. There is a difference between addiction and choice. Addiction is a disease not a choice. Nobody would choose to be addicted to drugs or alcohol just like nobody would choose cancer or diabetes. I just hope the people who are reading all the negative posts are strong enough to keep looking for the post that helps them. Please do not let the negativity of others determine your future. You are worth it.

I have been goin to the methadone clinic for the years it saved my life before that i had been in the subuxone program all it did was stop the withdraws it didnt stop the thought in my mind that i needed pain pills, because i truly have medical issues and real pain, first off i am a diabetic with high blood pressure high cholesterol and i have had like nine surgeries for my kidneys. so needless to say the suboxone did help with withdraws.But when i started the methadone clinic it helped me with everything,one of which being the pain and like i told them when i started i was inpain but once i was in the program about a week i could tell that it was help mentally,physically, and emotionally. And now i just need helpith findin a doctor in gastonia that will write me the methodone in the pill form because llike i said i am a level 5 stable and wanting to continue on the path of sobriety but the insurance will cover the insurance form. And with me having a son who is a senior and then going off to college, and then his brother is right behind him, and they do not deserve to suffer due to my misfortune. Your help will truly be appreciated

Executioner- if you or someone can help me find a doctor to perscribe methodone/ Ativan in Dallas area i would truly be grateful. I had a failed artificial disc implant surgery and have pain 20 hours a day. xxxxxx {edited for privacy}. I don't know why I can't just write contact address on this site;( it's legitimate people just trying to help each other). Im taking morphine related meds now but methodone isn't as harmful to my body and is cheaper and helps more. I don't understand why methodone has such a weird stigma about it, anyone who has taken all the stronger morphine related pain meds knows methodone is a more responsible choice if you don't want to get physically or mentally dependent. Please reply someone and I will also help anyone on here I can in Dallas area.

Does anyone know of a different site that I can go to to write my information so someone can write or tell me how to get help with finding treatment? There's no reason to use this site for me much longer since they won't publish contact info.

I've been on methadone for about 6 years now. I go to a clinic mainly because I got hooked so bad on all the stuff that was being prescribed to me from pain clinics, EG: Oxycontin, Fentynil Patches, Percocet. So I started going to a methadone clinic not only for my pain but I became an addict from all the drugs I got from the pain management clinic. I don't know if this is true of all clinics but after I was stable and gave clean urine tests and swab tests for like 6 months I started getting take homes.. Now I'm at the point where I only have to go one time a week to get my bottles filled. Doesn't everyone else have that option too if your not taking other drugs and your otherwise doing well??

BTW. I don't know if this is the Truth or not but the head nurse at my clinic, who is very very knowledgeable about this type of thing. He's worked as an RN dispensing Methadone for like 35 years. He says in this state (Pennsylvania) He told me that by law in this state a physician isn't allowed to prescibe more than 20MG's per day of methadone. If you want to take more you have to get it from a clinic. Although I know people that get 120 MG's or 3 40 mg wafers prescribed to them a day from there family physician. He says although some, not many but some will do that even though there really not supposed to. Is this true? I'm just going by the word that a long time nurse at my clinic told me. I'll google it and see if I can't find out for sure. I think a Pain Management Clinc or a Treatmen Clinic can both go over the 20 mgs but you have to earn the privileges to get a weeks worth at a time and just go 4 times a month.It's a Pain but I've been through worse. The place is open EVERY DAY. Even christmas. It used to be closed Sundays a holidays. EVERYONE got a take home bottle for Sunday, and alot of holidays fall on Monday's so you'd sometimes get 2 take home bottles. about 3 years ago that changed big time. Now they are open every single day. Luckily though I had earned my 1 day a week take homes before the open 7 days a week law went into effect.
