Methadone Pillsin Nc

Updated

I seen the info above about any Methadone Doctors that will prescribe it in pill form in the Greenville NC area. I am currently paying 300 a month at the clinic and I am trying to start detoxing off as well. I am on 70mg. I been on it going on 3 yrs in December and I just would really like to have the pills and pay less money, not have to go to the clinic each day, and detox slowly with a private Dr help. If anyone knows if there are any Dr in this area let me know please Thanks

Under current U.S. law, it is illegal for a private practice doctor to prescribe it for addiction treatment, maintenance, or detox. That is only legally permitted to be done, by those specially trained in its use, in a clinical setting.

Private practice doctors are only allowed to prescribe it for pain, and regardless of why anyone went to a clinic, it is noted in their medical records that they've been to an addiction clinic, so they will not be able to prescribe it for you.

The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and it could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth and constipation.

Thus, I'm sorry, but a clinic is your only option.

Is there anything else I can help with?
