I am 60 yrs old have been in methadone clinic but have buisness trips where I'm gone 3-5 days or 2 weeks to China Need perscription for methadone while away. Any help? ## Have you tried asking them if they can make any suggestions on a doctor you could see? Methadone can be prescribed for home use, in some states, though I am not sure what the laws are in NJ. Even doing a search for clinics there doesn't really help, because even if they can, we have no way of knowing if they will prescribe it that way. Have you spoken to a regular doctor about it?

I NEED TO FIND A DOCTOR IN NEW JERSEY i can take anythink else ## Hello, Toni! How are you? If you are looking for addiction/maintenance treatment, then a clinic is your only option. Private doctors are not allowed to prescribe ti for that under the current laws. This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. If you require it for pain management, then you'll need to see a pain management specialist. Can anyone suggest a good doctor or clinic in NJ?

I'm trying to find a private doctor in the Charlotte North Carolina area that will prescribe me Methadone? I travel a lot with my job and the clinic is pretty much as inconvenient as possible. Anybody know one? ## Many private doctors will not provide Methadone treatment, unless it is a last resort for pain and nothing else has worked. It requires constant regular monitoring of the patient, as well as accountability to the government for all prescriptions written. Have you considered a possible shorter-term treatment with Suboxone? Most people can successfully get off it, without severe problems, after treatment. ## I am a Director of Quality for a manufacturing facility in Goldsboro. I am new to the area. i come from KY. where I am prescribed methadone by my family Dr for pain. I r...

I need a methadone doctor near Ofallon,Illinois. ## Hello, Halo! How are you? There is no such thing as a Methadone doctor. If you need it for addiction or maintenance treatment, then you'll have to go to a Methadone clinic. If you require it for pain, then you'll need to see a pain management specialist. Which are you looking for? This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

When it comes to addiction treatment, most doctors will not provide such treatment outside of a clinic, because they do have to follow certain laws and treatment protocols, in order to...

I live in Myrtle beach, SC and I am in desperate need of a doctor who writes for methadone. I have many physical disabilities and my family doctor was writing it for me as I am unable to afford going to the clinic every day. I am willing to travel. I have called quite a few docs and they wont even see me due to the fact I am on Methadone. I hate the whole stigma that comes with it. Please if anyone knows of any Doctors here or in the surrounding area please let me know.. ## Well, you may be creating part of the problem yourself, if you are calling and asking if they prescribe Methadone. When you call and ask if they will prescribe a specific medication, especially a controlled substance, most doctors will consider that to be drug seeking behavior. They view it as huge red flag and even ...

I went back to my family Dr with this & he also in turn is sending me 2 pain management. But I've been waiting for them to find me a dr now for almost a week. I'm almost out of my medicine & it makes u so very sick if u don't take them. I've been looking online & asking & can't seem to find a place anywhere near me. I'm between Castalia & Sandusky Ohio.

I apologize, but I am having trouble understanding what you mean using the word 'like' in the manner that you are using it. Can you please post back and share more details of what you are going through? As to the Methadone, any doctor can prescribe it for pain treatment, but to treat addiction, it must be done by someone trained in its use, in a clinical setting.

Hi I am trying to find a doctor in the Rochester, ny even buffalo area that will prescribe methadone for my chronic knee pain and all I am finding is addiction treatment facilities!!! Can u help? ## Well, if you're searching under Methadone/Methadone treatment, that's all you're going to find. There is no listing of doctors that treat pain with any given medication. For pain, Methadone can be prescribed by any physician that has their license and can prescribe medications, however, if they advertised it, imagine the type of people they'd have beating down their office door. :-) The biggest issue that I think you're going to run into is many doctors not wanting to prescribe it, though they may be perfectly willing to prescribe other opiates. Many are reluctant, since ...

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 ## 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 ...

does dr. Harrison write methadone still for sure cause I can't afford to go & him not write it!!! ## did you ever find out about this doc writing methadone? ## I don't know how many Dr. Harrison's there are in the state of Alabama, but you might need to get a little more specific with the location/city if you're referring to a certain type of physician. I had found about four different Dr. Harrison's there on google just now. In many cases, I also think it would be important to let your medical records speak for themselves when it comes to finding someone who is willing to give you what you truly need. It's a tough game to play, since a lot of doctors tend to see it as drug seeking behavior when you openly ask them for a specific medication right off the bat....

I need a methadone doctor in Evans, GA or Martinez GA. ## Hello, Brandi! How are you? I'm sorry, but there is no 'methadone doctor' so to speak. Technically, any doctor can prescribe it for pain, however, if you're looking for it for addiction treatment, then a clinic is your only option. A private practice doctor is not allowed to prescribe it for that, it can only be given in a clinical setting by those that have been specially trained in its use. The FDA classifies this medication as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Can anyone suggest a place in that area?

I'm Chris Robert 55-years old, and 25-years ago I was a scaffold builder, I fell 80 feet off my scaffold that's the same as falling from a 6-story building.. Needless to say my injuries were plentiful, I've had surgeries on my back, femur bone, hip bone and also tore my scalp almost completely off from landing face first. After the fall I had 3-doctors treating me and a physiatrist and rehab.. I even tried going back to work in the office, but I just couldn't do it.. I've tried all kinds of pain meds. but the methadone worked the best after they took the 40mg off the market they were giving me the 10mg and oxycodone 30mg to help as a break through.. Now I just learned last month my wife of 32yrs. won't make it if she doesn't get a liver transplant fast,, I...

i have pain all over body but worse in legs, was getting methadone from psychiatrist, but they will not allow him to prescribe any longer, they only want pain dr's to do it, however there is not one that will prescribe it. methadone has a bad stigma to it. i was only taking 2.5 mg a day. if anyone knows of a dr in wisconsin please help me out, the pain in legs is getting bad. ## I am sorry that you are suffering and yes, there is a very bad stigma associated with Methadone, because it is so habit forming and dangerous. Learn more Methadone details here. Have you considered trying a different medication? Being willing to do so would likely get your more help from a new doctor. In most cases, if you are trying to seek a certain specific medication, they will view that as drug seeking ...

Please HELP in Chicago!! My moms Doc has retired and she needs a Doc that prescribes Methadone. Shes having trouble finding one even though shes been on it for well over 10yrs and has legit pain issues. She lives near Chicago IL. Thanks!! ## Hi! Has your mother found a doctor, yet? If not, how is she checking to see if they will prescribe it? Is she asking when she calls for an appointment? If so, most doctors are going to see that as drug seeking behavior and will just that they don't prescribe such medications. What she needs to do is set up an appointment with a new doctor and make sure that they get a complete copy of her current medical records. Once they can see her treatment regimen and what has and hasn't worked for her as documented by a fellow physician, they will be m...
