Methadone Dr. In Va.

I've been on methadone due to cp for the last 9 years, presently taking 120mg. daily. My current pm has adopted a new "NO METHADONE" policy and he will be weaning me off while placing me on some other medication. the problem is i've been on just about every other pain med.I'm 55 years old and don't play games i never failed a ua or refused any procedures. He said the office is no longer going to assume the responsibility of prescribing the methadone.
Does any one know of a doctor in the Floyd area of Va.
I've had the shots and every other therapy and surgery is not an option due to the affected area of my back that is injured is too large to repair all i can try to do is control the pain. Thank you for any help, Tim

I'm currently in the methadone clinic in Roanoke Virginia and I'm trying to find a doctor in Roanoke who is doing methadone outside of the clinic. I can't afford the clinic anymore and it's just too much hassle that you have to go through to be there. Can somebody please point me in the right direction? I've called about six or seven doctors on the list above and none of them were doing nothing anymore. They just want to do Suboxone maintenance, so could someone please help me. I'm in desperate need. I don't want to get back on the streets.
