I dont know if u ever found a solution for your situation. When i have to travel i make arrangements thru my methadone clinic to visit another methadone clinic as a "Guest" for "Guest Dosing". Depending on the Health Insurance you may have to pay out of pocket for the medication/methadone/methadose. I had to pay out of pocket. The 1st time visiting the clinics i was charged a intake fee, & from $135 to $145 for my 6 doses depending on the clinic. I had 6 take homes that were honored at the visiting clinics. After that 1st intake fee was paid i was not charged that fee again on return visits. My insurance only allows it's clients to get up to 6 take homes or I would get more because i have been clean & in compliance for many years. I would be guessing to say they would honor a months worth of take homes. I don't see why they wouldn't. It may be dependent on their policies on amounts of take homes. Or perhaps they just honor what's done at the your home clinic. In my case i had a serious medical emergency with one of my adult children out of state. I had to say my home clinic gave me a real headache trying to leave immediately with 2 weeks worth of, once per year allowed, vacation take homes. The visiting clinic was more accommodating to my issue. So after the first 2 weeks passed & i still needed to be at the hospital with my son around the clock my counselor at my clinic contacted a clinic in the state my son was hospitalized in and they accepted me as a visitor with just a 2 day advance notice of my need to visit them. I was told that in normal circumstances most clinics prefer a 2 week & require at least 1 week advance of visit request to visit in place before we get there. They also require that we bring with us a "Last Dose Letter" from our clinic that we hand to the Nurse at the Dosing Window. Every letter i was ever given was put in a an envelope & sealed. Then the nurse who filled out that letter wrote a fancy signature over the seal of that envelope to tell if it was tampered with. Since i was already out of state on the medical emergency the "Last Dose Letter" regarding the last dose that I took of my 2 weeks of vacation take homes was allowed to be faxed to the clinic that I needed to visit. I was also Blessed that the Methadone Clinic I needed to visit was only a 2 to 3 block walk from the hospital. So i was able to go & get back quickly. I got 6 take homes from them. I was able to do that one more time at that clinic. Then i was required by my "Home Clinic", to return to them for a "face to face" & a swab for evaluation. I returned on the day of my group session so I was required to attend that as well. From there I quickly checked my home & paid bills & within about 6 hours of arriving back in my home state i was on a plane heading back to my son at the hospital with my regular 6 take homes. Most states have several Methadone Clinics. I hope what I've shared is helpful to you & others. Wishing you a very Blessed journey.

If you're taking it for addiction treatment, then a private doctor cannot prescribe it to you for such treatment. That can only be done in a clinic setting, by a doctor that is specially trained in addiction treatment.

And they are required to give some take homes, but not necessarily a full months worth. Have you talked to them about the issue?
