Methadone In South Carolina

Im looking for a doctor in his own private practice who can provide me methadone monthly in south carolina near myrtle beach, pawleys, georgetown, charleston. I was once on pain meds and have wanted to get off for 2 years now and have been buying methadone through other means for 2 years now and want to do it the legal way, I just can't afford it. ## The issue here is that Methadone itself is very highly addictive and, with the recent government crackdowns, it has made it very hard for doctors to prescribe it on a take home basis. There are certain amounts that a treatment clinic can give on a take home basis, but they are limited and usually require weekly visits to the clinics and they are only given after you've been under treatment for awhile and have proven you aren't a...

Hello, I have recently lost my dr. He prescribed me subutext. Not only did my pharmacy give me the generic brand (witch has exposed my pain in my ankle) but I can NOT find a doctor who is licensed to prescribe subutext. I can not take suboxone due to the fact it makes me very sick. I'm self employed and I will not go to the methadone clinic!!! Any help on how to find a certified doctor would be great! ## I live in Cross, SC and I need to find the closest suboxone or subutex doctor to me that accepts medicaid.

I was going to the methadone clinic and 50 milligrams of methadone when I can't go anymore so what would be equivalent to 50 milligrams of methadonemy doctor prescribe me opana 20 milligram I was wondering which one is stronger ## @Nicole, RE: "what is stronger than methadone", According to an equianalagesic report by The Medical University of South Carolina (linked below), Hydromorphone (Dilaudid) would be the next step up from Methadone; and after Hydromorphone comes Fentanyl, which is ranked as number 1 on their potency chart. And please do feel free to correct me if you understand this type of chart differently. When I refer to ranking, I'm going by the order in which each drug is listed here: mcintranet.musc.edu/agingq3/calculationswesbite/convchart.pdf RE: "wha...

If u are prescribed methadone pills in SOuth Carolina and then move to Grand Rapids, MN where there is no dosing methadone clinic anywhere/ can u still get the pill form at any Hospitol and pharmacy in the area? Or is it treated just like liquid dose? Can u get methadone pills at any Hospitol or pharmacy? ## Regular doctors cannot prescribe it for addiction treatment, they can only prescribe it for pain. If you were in severe withdrawal and went to an ER, they'd have to treat you to stabilize you, but they are only required to do so, until you are out of danger and they don't have to prescribe Methadone. Learn more Methadone details here. However, there are 2 Methadone treatment clinics listed in Grand Rapids: Proaction Behavioral Health Alliance 616-776-0891 etx. 401 Eastern Cl...

Was with a pain center in South Carolina for three years, but they through me out because I was taking a cough medicine given to me by my regular doctor. They said it was in my urine and they did not prescribe it. They put me on Methadone 10 mg four times a day, Oxycodone 7.5 mg three times a day, and a lot of other drugs for the last three years. I was in a car accident ten years ago, and was pretty messed up from it. What can I do about the pain center? My reg doc told them she prescribed it to me for three months, and they said they did not care. ## If you had a treatment agreement contract with them that stated you couldn't take narcotics from other doctors, without their approval, or that you couldn't take them at all, then you breached that contract. It doesn't matter ...

I started treatment on methadone 1 year ago and it has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. I have my life back. I am have been to clinics in CA, NC, and now south carolina. Reno Nevada was pretty lax with take homes but now after transferring to sc with the same company I thought by transfering to same clinic in a different state I would keep take homes. Its the most important thing in my life to get take homes. I absolutely hate going in every day to dose. I am looking for any coastal city (I am a surfboard shape) that has a good clinic with relaxed take home approvals. I'm clean almost always but consume cannabis sometimes cause no one will prescribed me my kpins while im on methadone. California didn't even test for cannabis, but I had no take homes cause that...
