Doctors Who Prescribe Methadone In Boston Ma For Pain

My mom is 66.

Hi, I have been on methadone for pain for several years. I hate going to the methadone clinic because I am uncomfortable with most of the people using the clinic. I am looking for a private doctor who will prescribe methadone for pain and is south of Boston. Thanks for any help you can provide ## Hello, JT! How are you?

Hi Does anyone in the Boston ,Mass area know of any doctors who would perscribe Methadone? Thanks. ## Hi, Donata! How are you? As to Methadone, it depends why it's needed. If it's to treat severe pain, any doctor can prescribe it for that. However, if it's for addiction treatment, then that must be done in a clinical setting by those who are specially trained in its use, it is against the law for a regular doctor to prescribe it for such. Learn more Methadone details here. Can you post back with more details? That will enable people to help you! Thanks!
