Anybody know where in Athens, GA I could get prescribed pain killers? Thing is, is ive had tramadol before and It would be helpful if I had something now, but no doctors have trusted so far and I cant blame them because there are weirdos who are perfectly fine and like to try to get them anyways.

Hi Scott...I know this is several months old but maybe this is still relevant. You said you didn't want to go to a clinic bc "they always make you take more than you need." Actually, this isn't so. Most pts report the opposite- that they feel underdosed. Anyway, if you do decide (or have decided) to go the clinic route it just so happens that you are in one of the best states for MMT (Methadone Maintenance Treatment). ..AND I MEAN ONE OF THE BEST. GA has 27 takehomes (of course after a period of time and it also has about 50 clinics statewide. I'm in AL and we have approx 20...which is considered good. Tennessee has maybe 10...and their heavily state-controlled system is not therapeutic at all for their pts (for the most part)...they really have to jump through hoops. Anyway, hope this helps. If you need a clinic in your area, you can go to the 'Clinic Locator' on SAMHSA.gov site. It will show you the clinics listed per each state and will give all contact details.

BEST OF LUCK!

I have been in pain management for several years for chronic pain related to arthritis. My insurance has changed up and my doctor no longer takes medicaid. I signed on to a clinic but it isn't working great for me. The mornings are the worst for people with bad arthritis and I really need to find a doc who can work with me on methadone or something that will address my needs. I need a doc in North Georgia or western tip of NC.

Hi Missy-
I completely understand what you are going through. A lot of patients have a very hard time getting back into pn mgmt after going to a clinic. Once you've been to a clinic, you are labeled as having addiction issues (whether you were on it for pn mgmt or not).

Best of luck to you Missy!

Hi. I am trying to find an OBGYN that will prescribe methadone for a pregnant patient. A friend of mine is almost 6 months along and has been just getting by with what she can find. Her doctor does not know that she is on methadone and would probably stop treating her all together if she found out, but she cant afford to go to the methadone clinic so her dose is not level and not monitored. This is very dangerous for her baby and the baby will need to be treated after he is born, but since she does not have a prescription right now, that is going to cause a lot of problems for my friend. I am very worried about her, but more worried about her unborn baby boy!! If anyone knows of an obstetrician that can help treat her with methadone in the Athens Georgia area or nearby, and that takes Medicaid PLEASE PLEASE respond to this!!! Thanks!!

Hi DillonLove- Unfortunately doctors cannot prescribe Methadone for addiction purposes, only for pain mgmt. She can only receive methadone for addiction through a clinic...and GA is one of THE BEST states for MMT clinics (and there are soooo many, at over 50 clinics compared to less than 20 in Alabama). However, she may be able to find a doctor that would Rx Suboxone. Only certain doctors can Rx Suboxone. You can go to the treatment locator on SAMHSA.gov and find all Suboxone doctors and methadone clinics in GA. Sorry she is going through this! Actually, 40% of babies born to mothers on methadone have no withdrawal symptoms and need no medication (I was one of those 40%). Best of luck!

Hello. Does this doctor prescribe Methadone? I have been prescribed both Methadone and Xanax, and my doctor is retired. I'm struggling to find one. If you could help point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.

Re: BRCA Survivor (# 20)

Why is it so difficult to get methadone prescribed? It wasn’t 12 years ago but I live in Alabama. Not everyone can take Suboxene. I’ve tried it several times and it messes my stomach up so bad that I end up in the hospital and that’s been several times. Plus it doesn’t block everything as good as methadone and I was taking 3 strips a day.

I have been addicted to opiates since 2003. Previously a patient at a pain clinic and prescribed hydrocodone and oxycontin as well as fentanyl patches. I have chrones disease, RA & suffer from bipolar disorder. I lost my health insurance and was forced to go the Methadone clinic on a daily basis costing me $87 weekly. I have a part time job making only $120 a week. As a single mother it’s no surprise I financially struggle to keep food and shelter for myself and my child. I’ve recently acquired health insurance and would love nothing more than to visit my physician on a monthly basis while being prescribed Methadone or even Suboxone in order to maintain a lifestyle that is certainly healthier, less risky and more financially suited for me. I need a physician that will also address my mental health as well. I’ve been attending daily clip visits for almost a year straight and it’s really putting a HUGE strain on the other obligations I have. Finding a doc would literally save me $400 a month or more not to mention scrounging up rides from anyone I can just to be able to work without being sick. I need a referral for a psychiatrist that’s knowledgeable in this area of maintenance treatment and comfortable assisting me in dual diagnosis at the same time. Please help me! I can’t survive much longer and I’m trying to do the right thing. I need professional help ASAP in or near Macon, Georgia!
