Alabama And Medication

This is so sad. If medications were legal for responsible adults, we would not have this problem. This problem lies with the fact that many people sell their medication or abuse it. Be honest with your physician and you will be amazed at the help you will get. BTW, methadone will kill you. If you aren't ready to detox, go to someone that prescribes Suboxone. It will not cost you anymore than methadone will. You will get a monthly supply. Just reading these posts breaks my heart. It is obvious that many of you are drug addicts. I am not throwing stones but why would someone go for a week without their medication if it is needed? The reason is that they sell it. Dr.'s are not stupid. We can smell a lie a mile away and we don't want to get our license revoked because of your lies. It's really sad when we can't write for a person that is wanting to get clean and keep his job. Sometimes we can't write because someone that is begging for pain pills just left our office and so we have to be extra careful. Addicts make it hard for people that really are in pain. I don't know how many times that I've tried to help someone and then they steel the prescription pads. Please get some help or at least try Suboxone.

Not everyone is a drug addict and we are suffering because of addicts tremendously. Our ability to live a somewhat normal life has been taken away by the DEA. I have been through every other treatment including surgery and this is my only option.

Kimberly,Ginger.

A question for you, is an innocent 11 year old CHILD a drug addict trying to get over on doctors after he (MEANING MYSELF) required several life threatening surgeries hospitalized for over 5 months back in 1976 when available pain relieving modalities were in their infancy,responsible for today's insidious predicament ??? Its that pompous arrogant attitude by those BLESSED enough to have found the appropriate course of treatment that prevents others from being honest with those providing said treatment. I was lucky enough to have found mine as well after decades of trial and error.If for one moment for one day we can all just show some compassion and say to ourselves, "BUT THERE FOR THE GRACE OF GOD GO I"!!!!!!! Just a thought...........

I am 37 years old and have been suffering from the disease of addiction for 11 years now. However, I have been clean for a few years now with the help of an addiction doctor and the medication Subutex/Suboxone. I was paying out of pocket $125/month for the visit and over $250/mth for the medication. I did this because after many years of detox facilities Narcotics Anonymous meetings a drug court program and other various remedies for my pain pill addiction I could not stay clean. So I decided that the coat was not too great and my life mattered more than this drug addiction I was suffering from. I was covered by Florida Medicaid, however, here's the MAIN problem: Medicaid will pay for all of the medications and the doctors that prescribe them for us to become addicted but they will not pay for the medications and/or the doctors to help us better ourselves and become yet productive members of society again. What I am saying is Medicaid pays to make a person into an addict but they will not pay for the outpatient rehab and medication to rehabilitate us. Not all recovering addicts are stealing prescription pads or doctor shopping. I truly do not believe that addicts intentions are ever to cause a doctor to lose their license. I have seen many many doctors that need to have their licenses yanked for good because they are what I call pill mills or drug pushers. As long as the patients have their copay, insurance, and or self-pay money there are plenty of doctors that prescribe whatever you want if the price is right. So please when you are writing remember not to throw stones and put the shoe on the other foot because there are plenty of doctors that are up to no good just as there are patients who are just out there to feed their addictions. It would help if we could all see eye stop the blame game and really HELP those in need. If this world wasn't just about money and how we could all make more or the doctors really cared genuinely as their supposed to they probably wouldn't be addicts at all and that's the truth! #FedUpWithRichDoctors
