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.

How are you? I'm sorry, but the clinic is your only option. Under current laws, a private doctor cannot prescribe it for addiction or maintenance treatment. 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.

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 ...

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?

Can you please help me with a name of a doctor in Austin texas that prescribes methadone? ## Hello, Theresa! How are you? I'm sorry, but there is no such thing as a Methadone doctor. For pain, any doctor can technically prescribe, but many won't due to its severe habit forming potential. If you require it for addiction treatment, then you'll have to go to a clinic, because it would be illegal for a regular doctor to prescribe it for that. The FDA classifies this medication as an opiate, 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 recommend a good doctor in that area? ## I used to be on Methadone and Vicodin, prescribed by a family doctor. I saw him for years until he mer...

I really need a doctor that prescribes Methadone in Evans or Martinez, Ga which is close to Augusta, GA. Will someone please help me ASAP?!! ## Have you been able to find a doctor to write your medicine in that area? I also just moved here. ## There is no such a thing as a Methadone doctor. Technically, any doctor with a license to practice medicine can prescribe it, but most are reluctant to do so, due to its highly addictive nature, and because it is so frequently abused. Additionally, as you can read here on the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Website, if it is required for addiction treatment, or for someone in maintenance from a former addiction, it can only be given in a clinical setting under the supervision of someone specially trained in its use for such conditions. ...

I'm taking methadone for pain but my doctor is hard to get to for me anymore . and my dose is too low for the clinic. Does anyone have a doctors name that I could go to around cherry hill NJ? ## Due to the regulations that were put in place last year, you'll need to see a pain management specialist if you require such a medication on a long-term ongoing basis. Is there a chance that your current doctor may refer you to someone closer? That would most likely be the easiest way of getting the help you need. 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.

My pain doctor of 2 years is decreasing doses for all patients of all pain meds. I take Methadone. Don't know why she's doing it but seems like it's some kind of a DEA thing. Anyway, I have to finder another doctor in the Seattle area. Does anyone know of somebody? Any help is appreciated more than I could express. Thank you. ## Hello, Steve! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having. However, you're going to experience the same thing, regardless of what doctor you see. They all have to do it, the current DEA recommendation is no more than the equivalent of 120mgs of Morphine, per day, with the caveat that they keep the patient's dosage as low as possible. The only exceptions are for those that have intractable pain from a possibly terminal ...

I have been addicted to pain pills for nearly 20 yrs. can anyone tell me a good methadone doctor in hickory NC. ## Hi, Coy! If you are looking to use it to break your addiction, then you will have to go to a Methadone clinic, a private physician isn't allowed to prescribe it for that under the current laws. To be used to treat addiction, it has to be used under the supervision of those that are specially trained in using it for that in a clinical setting. Have you considered treatment with Suboxone? They have a website at suboxone.com with a feature that will let you search for doctors in your area and it only requires monthly visits to the doctor, with counseling, rather than daily visits like the Methadone clinics. Learn more Suboxone details here. It also has the added bonus of e...
