Listed below are a couple websites specific to locating pain management doctors in a given area. All you have to do is input your city or zip code for narrowed results:
{link removed because site no longer exists}

You can give this other page a try too if you come up with different results for some reason or another:
wellness.com/find/pain%20management%20specialist

Alternatively, you can have your primary care doctor refer you to a new pain management doctor or clinic.

Please post back if the links above were helpful!

Louis, you are a methadone clinic's nightmare in that dosing outside of the program will kill you sooner or later. The first thing is that an addictions center can not treat you for pain by law, and a pain center can't treat you for addiction by law. Sounds nuts, but that is the US government. The difference in the two treatments is this: A single dose of methadone last not much more than 8 hours for pain. As you point out, by evening, your hurting again. Now, for addiction, the proper does of methadone, once found, can prevent withdrawal symptoms for 24 hours. If you must stay at an addiction center (which is not really where you should be), ask them to "split dose" you if you take take home of "carry" privileges. Split dosing is usually given at addiction clinics for a rare cases where one dose of methadone does not hold for withdrawal symptoms for the full 24 hours. Of course, you don't really have to tell them, and can just split it yourself if you have take homes, but you are dealing with powerful medicines, and the best way to stay alive is to let the clinic doctor know what your intentions are. Being honest in all things with the doctor can save your life.

I would maybe concider a non addictive medication for pain that is a non narcotic and not concidered a controlled substance. I Had been addicted to narcotics for several years and when I finally broke the habbit I got in a bad car accident and now suffer from severe pain in my head, neck, and back. Of course the prescribed me narcotics so I refused them and started ordering Tramadol online for a pretty inexpensive price and it works well for my pain and it is not addictive. Hopefully this works for you so you can be pain free. Good Luck!

thanks for the info yes i have found that out about the clinic laws also , it's a catch 22 . Also now the clinic has a set of rules if you come up dirty for drug use they can detox you and throw you out of the methadone clinic , or force you to go to out patient or in paitent treatment , i feeel as long as its not an opiate they find like pot is in that catigory if it keeps showing up you will get in trouble , mind you there talking to adults here , i can see if your still opiate dependant okay but stuff like weed or blow once in awhile is nothing to get riled up over to the point of termanating someone wwho will wind up back on dope in the street full circle ?? they are not helping with that rule what so ever .
