(Newest replies first)

I live in Myrtle Beach, SC. I have been on methadone for 9 years. I have had a lot of pain issues since having cancer 10 years ago. I went to a pain management clinic in Philadelphia. No problems. TRhen I moved to MB and the only resouce I've been given is a methadone clinic.. I need to find a doctor to write my methadone for me. My insurance pays for that. but a clinic which is not helping my issue and want 300.00 dollars a month and I have to go everyday. I am not the healthiest person I can't do it. Is there anyone who can help me PLEASE.. I am willing to go to North carolina if I have to.. is anyone knows of a pain management doc or other???? Thank You God bless

I'm desperate. I'm on my 9th surgery for total right hip revisions. My pain is intolerable. I have no quality of life. I can't find any Dr. to write for methadone. If I were a dog I'd be put down already. I have 1 rid bit of hope left and it's fading away. I live in the Atlanta area. I'm having to go to a clinic for now and I'm still immobile from this last surgery. I'd be willing to do pill counts or whatever was asked for to get a doctor's help. I'd do anything. I need a Dr that will write for methadone 90mg which doesn't work and Roxy 30 prn po 4hr. Not touching it. Please god, no pain management will take me bc of my past. I'm just ready to die. If anyone sees this and knows a Dr. please respond. This is an urgent matter. Thank you.

What we all need is the government to get off their ass and quit devoting all their attention to drs that are prescribing opiates and try and help the people that are already addicted. The number one way is to make it legal for private drs to prescribe methadone for maintenance and make it cheaper on people that are trying to do better and quit making these clinics rich. Methadone is dirt cheap if you can get a prescription versus having to pay a clinic $15 every damn day, not to mention being made to feel like you’ve killed somebody and you're on probation.

Re: D (# 47)

How am I suppose to be treated by a doctor all the way in Denver, CO. to get prescribed methadone. I spent alot of years proving everything that is wrong with me, and I refuse to go to a clinic and say I'm an addict when I know I'm not.

Hi, my name is Elisabeth. I have been on methadone for 6 years and I'm very close into moving where I can get some help. I went to a pain specialist with xrays of my back. I take 1 oxycodone 15mg at night. I would give that up in a heartbeat cause what works is the methadone, only he wrote a prescription for 4 oxy 15 a day. Why? That was my problem to start with. If you can help me please share with me a number to call for an appt. to a real doctor that is understanding. I don't want to go down that dark lifestyle again. Thank you. {edited for privacy}

Actually the clinic I go to gives a take home after 30 days u gotta do 2 groups n 1 counsel session monthly after that it's a take home every 90 days now they changed it so if u are under 5 or 6 take-home a month you have to space the days like I get sat n sun n I wanted Monday cause alot of holidays fall on Monday I have to work n clinic opens on holiday at 7-930 I have to be at work at 7 so my 3rd take-home is on a Wednesday for Thursday only to go back Friday n get it for weekend. But it's ok when I get up to the 6 th mark?

Hi Melody,

This sounds like the perfect match with patient centered care we all deserve. I have full body crps and just moved here from Maine. How can I get this information if I can't see your emai? There is no luck in SC oat likely due to being insensitive from all the addicts encountered which makes everyone pay. Thanks in advance

No the reality is people who actually need it for pain are damned by the drug seekers and end up at a clinic because pain management has been f****ed up by people wanting to feel high! My back is destroyed and i can't get anything but norco from any pain center because of the dea tightening up on them because of the seekers. its bulls***! Everyone else has to pay the price for it.

No doctor will write a rx for methadone once a patient is treated at a methadone clinic.ITS PROHIBITED BY FEDERAL LAW. The clinic rules aren't weird at all, actually quite concise and easy to understand. COMPLY WITH THE STANDARDS AND BECOME ELIGABLE FOR THE FEDERAL PHASE SCHEDULE THAT ALLOWS UP TO 27 DAY TAKEHOME PRIVLEDGES IN LESS THEN 24 MONTHS.
Those are the facts when clients are prepared to be drug free clinics grant latitude in treatment protocol. Denial is the hurdle abusers have to overcome before life can return to some assemblence of normalcy. God bless you....

As you have seen trying to help a specific person in need whom experienced tragic circumstances brings all the methadone seekers who are APPROPRIATELY BEING TREATED AT A METHADONE CLINIC.If you are CURRENTLY being dosed AT A METHADONE CLINIC FOR WHATEVER REASON YOU CLAIM NO pain doc will prescribe methadone as a pain protocol because federal law PROHIBITS the PRESCRIBING of METHADONE for that purpose. DESPITE YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES OR MITIGATION !!!!!SECONDLY if you comply with clinic standards the federal Phase schedule allows up to a 27 day TAKEHOME privledge with as little as 24 months of COMPLETE compliance. So all that bull crap is people looking to use methadone for purposes other then what it's designed for. FACT!!!!!!!
