Methadone Clinic Payment Help
UpdatedI am looking for any resources or information about getting any kind of help paying for the methadone clinic, I know things are different depending on where you live, I happen to live in Lake Charles Louisiana. My wife and I have both been opiate addicts for over 10 years, and have both tried suboxone treatment and we have not had very good results. Subs leave us feeling terrible and ultimately end up being just a way to avoid cetox in between dope binges. The DEA rules with Sub are set in favor of the doctors, manufacturers, etc to make money. Methadone clinics are money makers Im sure but the politics behind them seem to be more focused on real addicts, finding real productive change and leading healthier lives etc. However, as for my wife and I, we are not prescribed anything at the moment so we have been falling further n further behind and disorganized and we just need to find a way to come up with money to start the clinic. We cant just spend the money we would spend on dope to get in, its just not so simple for us right now so if anyone has any info, it would be very much appreciated. We need prayer as well. Thank you One Love.

I am not familiar with programs in Louisiana, at all, it's actually one of the few states I've not spent any time in.
Do you have a large hospital nearby? If so, the best suggestion I can make is to contact them and ask how to reach their social work or patient advocate department. If there are programs in your area that can help with this, those are the people that would know.

Does anyone else have any suggestions or ideas?
