Maximum Take Home Bottles From Clinic

Updated

Im wondering what the maximum take homes your state allows? Im in Pennsylvania and been on MMT for 4 years and clean for almost all 4. We only get a week, 6 take homes and one to drink at clinic. West virginia is where I live and they allow up to 28 bottles, well that might have been cut to 14, not sure. I actually pass that clinic on the way to the one in Pa, its 20 mins further but just easier to deal with the people in Pa. I travel for my job and wanted to know what different states allow or your clinic allows after so much clean time. Id like to transfer where I an get the months at once so I dont have to be stuck every week not being able to leave for longer periods of time. It limits my earning potential. Thanks for any input.

Hello, Jake! How are you?

I'm sorry, but under current federal laws for Methadone treatment, 2 weeks is the maximum allowed in all U.S. states.

This is a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Is there anything else I can help with?

When was it cut to two weeks? I recently switched to suboxone, but before I switced I was getting 28 takehomes. I live in Texas.

I guess it was, I just contacted the one in WV and it is 2 weeks now, mustve happened in the last year. I thought they went state by state. I guess Pa or the place I go to now just has their own rules or Pa has their own. It is BS, everybody gets treated the same. Its nuts. I see people complain about giving a dirty U/A, I don't blame them for pulling your privileges. Priveleges is what it is and if you want to mess around then why even bother with the clinic? Another thing that I find crazy is everybody wanting to take Benzos and meth, that's like a nasty combination, sure it gets you blasted but its deadly. And I don't care what anybody says, id bet 90% of the people using them at the clinic don't need them. Its funny to watch them come in slobbering and b**** about them warning them to stop the benzos or get booted.

I should get off of this but it does keep me grounded, I don't really drink or go out to the bars when Im on this. Im done with opiates, don't want them no more, Ive got a months worth of suboxone and some subutex, I got to make my mind up to stay off the meth for at least 3 days before I switch, I tried after 24 hours and boom, withdrawl bad, drained my body fast, and NO its not the naloxone that knocks it out its the buprenorphine. Everybody thinks you can take subutex and you wont get sick, BULL, youll get sick just as fast as suboxone, the naloxone is only effective if used intravenously, orally doesn't have any effect. I just wish they allopwed more take homes if you needed it for work. I love the ones that are there at 4am when then clinic don't open until 5, standing in their pajamas just to get that sip and go home back to bed to eat a hand full of Xanax. Oh, well, it is what it is. Thanks

NEW YORK GIVES A MONTH, 4 WEEKS AFTER 1 YEAR AS LONG AS YOU WERE CLEAN FOR THE YEAR. I'M STILL ON 1X WEEK BECAUSE I KNOW I NEED TO GIVE URINE EVERY WEEK TO HELP ME STAY CLEAN. I'M CLEAN OVER 10 YEARS BUT I STILL WORRY ABOUT A SLIP SO I NEED THE STABILITY OF 1X WEEK.
