Doctors In Michigan That Prescribe Methadone (Top voted first)

I'm interested in finding a private doctor's office (not a clinic) that will prescribe methadone. I can't afford these clinics! Does anyone know of a doctor???

REPORT

I am a full time student and a single mother, I need assistance in finding a doctor who prescribes methadone because with my schedule and transportation I cannot go to the Methadone Clinic anymore.

My fiance is struggling with RLS & extreme pain, has had it for 20+ yrs. He has had a prescription for Methodone for the last 7 years, tried everything else & that's what finally worked. He only takes a half of one at bedtime, never to get high. The doctor that has written the scrip has released him from his office, no more scrip. He wishes he could amputate his legs it hurts so bad, hasn't slept for days! Ethically, can a doctor just cancel a Methodone scrip just like that because of a personal problem? He is mentally & physically exhausted over this--can anyone help?

I have been in methadone clinics for over 25 yrs. I know most of the in's and out's. I hate the clinics with all the rules that have to be done and all the nonsense that goes on in there. I currently go to a doctor's office for my methadone. He prescribes it for pain and addiction, just different rules for each. I am here to help if anyone has questions that I may be able to answer. Good luck to all.

doctors can prescribe it for addiction. they have to say its for pain though. there are plenty of doctors that do this the problem is finding them, because they don't advertise for it. if they did the dea would be there quickly(happened to my last doc). you just have to ask around at the clinic. on the street. internet, til you get lucky. it more than worth it though. $100 a month plus script. methadone are very cheap ex.150 for $30, cheaper at diff pharmacies. so about $150-$200 depending on your dose compaired to $75 a week at the clinic plus gas. and not having to wake up every mornin and drive to go dose alone is worth it. oh and try suboxone doctors. most are pain docs too. if you go for pain/addiction explain situation and see what happens. addiction docs can be more understanding than you think.

Kamarx,
I FINALLY found a great dr.!!! His name is Lawrence Konst in Utica...over an hour drive for me but worth it! He listened to me...made sure I had enough pain meds for 2 months, wrote me for PT, and wants to follow up in 6 weeks!! I'm so happy. He didn't treat me like a drug-seeker and actually was considerate and compassionate to my pain :)
I called yesterday and they got me in today which was awesome...wish is would have known about him all along...plus, he takes my ins.
They do print out a MAPS on you for 1st visit but as long as you have nothing to hide and are not 'dr. shopping'...it's all fine.
Hope if anyone else needs a great Dr...they find help too! So many out there are not so nice...thank you so much for your input! I have learned so much great info from this thread.

Ashley, like you I suffer from severe chronic pain and my doc of 7 years retired who treated me with methadone. Up here there is a major shortage of pain management doctors and I will drive anywhere for treatment except cause of clinics where I would be driving 6 to 8 hours a day. If you could please help me with the name of doctor asap I would really appreciate the help. Thank you

Hopefully this will help some of you. If you are looking for a doctor that prescribes pain medication I would try Dr. Hukill in Davison Mi. Also Dr Sayyid in Flint Mi. If you are looking for a doctor who will prescribe methadone you can try Dr. Hardman in Flint Mi, and there is also another doctor in the same office that also prescribes it but can't think of his name. But they both prescribe it for chronic pain that requires around the clock relief since its long acting. Hope this helps and I hope there accepting new patients. These are all actually pretty good doctors aside from just pain management also which now a days is hard to find a doctor that will help with your pain and also care about your ovoverall health. Good luck to all of you and with these doctors I suggest you be as honest as you possibly can because they do maps and also drug panels and check levels occasionally after your a patient. None of which will put up with drug abuse or street drugs, so if that's the issue I recommend the methadone clinic.

Reply to post about methadone: actually a pcp can write them, unless there's been severe changes. They need a course in how to use an treat with it or something pertaining to that which is a simple thing for them to do; same as sub drs, it's not like they have to continue school for months, yrs of training or anything, I'd have to recheck but it's more like a quick training course that's offered. I'll look into this because I had internal family dr's give it to me before for pain. I will also pull up the names of these dr's for you that can prescribe it. I lost my dr last wk, closed without notice. I went to get meds, results an that's when I found out. The girl said I was just going to call you, the dr has been closed now for 2 weeks, wth.. So I have an appointment an no one calls 2 weeks ago to let me know so I could start looking for yet again another dr an not be left without my medications...

I suffer daily I'm lucky to be able to get up for a few hrs a day, so my heart goes out to all that truly needs pain meds!! Sorry if this part upsets anyone but over the past 15yrs of the gamut of pain dr's it was so frustrating as you sit in waiting room and listen to well over half of the patients just waiting to get there meds so they could go make x amount or trade for crack ect... As yrs have gone by its got so much harder to be able to find a dr that's good, listens ect,..I believe some of this is because of those patients that didn't need, plus yrs of selling has increased addiction, overdoses and now with a decrease in drs willing to prescribe we have a opiate epidemic!! 30yrs ago they were not wanted like today. There was other stuff that ppl wanted but not a lot cared much about pills. We were just talking about this the other day!! I feel ppl that get them an dont need to,,really has made life more challenging and has ruined it for the ppl that truly are in chronic daily pain and trying to get just some of their life back.

A lot of chronic pain patients have no choice but to turn to the streets to get the medications they need; and where do most get them from? -the person bragging in the waiting room so they can go make some quick money ect!!! I don't know how their getting any meds when ppl with legitimate pain are playing hell.. Anyway, I'm not sure how I can post the names of the dr's that can rx methadone. I'll have to check into all this but my head just isn't working well today, pain does you in, mentally and physically.. I only wish there was a way us true chronic pain patients could communicate an help one another with drs ect... I haven't had good luck over my 18yrs having chronic daily pain every min of the day. I've lost 5 drs, none my fault. 1 moved, 2 went to prison and 2 closed without notice. What luck.. Also 4 were not pain management. My 1st dr was but after a couple yrs he told me with the problems you have I'm sending you to a md. He's not a pm dr but they can write your scripts, there's no since you have to come 3hrs to see me to get your meds.

So he sent me to a regular dr that took over writing my meds, which I'm thankful he did because within a yr he was in jail. He was great and caring but some of these dr's get money hungry once they get a taste of how much they can make an we know the rest and no not all of them do! Then the dr that took over for him he just up an closed down with no warning yrs later, but I thought it worked out in the long run because I now had a dr 20min away verses 3hrs and I thought he was great until I started hearing things an he told me himself that the dea was after him. His office was never full, but had 3 offices. I still couldnt understand they said he killed patients! I thought that's a patient's responsibility. I found out later he had been writing them scripts for methadone 90-120 at a time and would give them 2 refills per month. Jails had called him about these pts, their family's had, hospitals did, pharmacies had them red flagged.

I had seen him for yrs and he ended up doing me so wrong at the end, I didn't feel sorry for him. He ended up causing me to have a heart attack and now this just happens yet again as another dr closed and I don't know where to turn. Going cold turkey off this stuff isn't good. The withdrawals I really don't get super bad but I think it's due to the pain over rides them. Idk, but the pain's awful. I will look into how to possible get the names out,without causing problems so everyone has the option to find help they need. The list was dr's not clinics for methadone. I know a lot are taking sub, but if your in pain they don't help. Sorry for such a long post..Took me awhile. I had to come back,,this pains awful and I'm just so stressed going off meds. The pain has sky rocket. Guess I vented a bit much too, lol, but I'll do some checking on this as soon as I can and see what or how I can let ppl know. I have to find a dr and don't know where to turn, or best places to start looking here in michigan because most want a referral and I lost my pcp that wrote my meds so I'm not able to get a referral. So I'm not sure what to do myself..Best wishes to all..I haven't posted here so I'm knew learning rt from wrong what can be posted.
