Hi, Krysta! How are you?

For addiction treatment, it cannot be prescribed like that. Under the laws for such, it can only be administered in a clinical setting by those that are specially trained in its use for addiction, since it requires regular monitoring and there are strict limitations on take home doses, counseling and etc.

Any doctor can prescribe it for pain, but most are reluctant to do so, since it can be very habit forming and there are much better and safer options available.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I have been on methadone for chronic pain for a lot of yrs. I was taken off my methadone and weened off to be put on fentanyl patches. My ekgs were perfect every 6 months I was required to take random lab tests and pill counts. Never failed the counts or tests. Been going to this pain management doctor because this is the same doctor that put me on this medication and he truly saved my life. I was taking hydrocodone 10 mg tablets 6 to 8 a day. He said I wouldn’t feel it like I normally did. He was right not only did I tell him he was crazy. But told him I would try for one month to see how it controls my pain.

I hated it for a few days because he was right I didn’t feel the feelings I got from them. But pain was gone, so I no longer needed 10 pills a day. Methadone was also taking my cravings away from the feeling I got from hydrocodone. My insurance paid for it for years; but it stopped paying and I picked up the price of 15.97, a very small price to some of the other medications for pain. A box of 5 fentanyl costs almost 300.00. The same practice I have stayed at for all these years weened me down until I thought I was going to die from being weened so quickly, to offer the same meds, hated them, tried morphine forms didn’t help my pain nor the function of my daily life.

I have now tried a lot of meds to be offered buprenorphine, the same drug they give you at a methadone clinic, then suboxone, same meds given at a methadone clinic but it’s the same license. I shouldn’t have to go to a methadone clinic everyday to be punished for what? I could understand a bit if I took less than ur state dosing clinics! True no doubt if taken with benzodiazepines or drank alcohol it is fatal. But that would kill anyone using narcotics but I have never been a drinker and would never take that risk. But it’s so very unfair for people that use it for chronic pain. Did I add it is an opiate blocker?
