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.

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.

Bulldog fan,

Hello neighbor...how are you? Opiate Treatment Providers (aka the "Clinic") certainly do not prescribe other medications AT ALL (other than a very few clinics across the country that are attached to a hospital or like setting...but there are only a handful). OTPs only prescribe Methadone and some also now prescribe Buprenorphine. Buprenorphine is another newer medication that is excellent for treating addiction...and can also be given for pain (known as Suboxone, Bunavail, and Zubsolv). You probably could get your husband into an OTP in the Atlanta area, but that would require some deception because OTPs will only take pts that have an addiction to opiates. However, a huge majority of us that are at a clinic started out as pain management patients with another physician first and then became dependent upon those meds and then were "dropped" or left hanging with those doctors because of the huge crackdown on doctors prescribing pain medications. And then, many were left with little alternative other than the "clinic."

If you did want to try to get him into a clinic like the poster below said...he would HAVE to say that he needs it for addiction purposes and not for pain (even though it works great for pain of course). The reason why you are having a problem finding a doctor for your husband is because (*most*) doctors now refer those that need pain management directly to a pain clinic. Otherwise you are mostly SOL. If you still want to try the route of finding a private doctor that will prescribe methadone, your best bet is to be referred into a pain clinic.

I will be happy to answer any questions if I can. I have attended a clinic for 17 years...and probably will for life. My husband also has pain due to lumbar issues. He was on pain meds but didn't want to become more and more dependent on those (as he was becoming), but of course he wanted his pain control. Therefore he actually asked his doctor to prescribe him Suboxone which helps him very much with his pain but for him produces no euphoric effects, and it has done very well for him (only certain doctors can Rx Suboxone/Buprenorphine).

If you would like to explore OTPs in your area (a clinic) or a doctor that prescribes Buprenorphine, you can visit SAMHSA.gov and they are listed by state. You actually happen to be in a GREAT state for Methadone Maintenance Treatment. The state of GA has over 50 clinics, which is A LOT. To give an example, by comparison my state of Alabama has less than 20 clinics and the state of Tennessee has less than 12 clinics. Also in GA, after enough time in treatment you are able to take an entire month's worth of medication home...which many states don't do (mine gives a max of 13 takehome bottles of medication. A "takehome" is a day's worth of Methadone).

Anyway, I know this is a lot of information in one message but I just wanted to give you some idea of whether or not you could even fathom thinking about looking into seeing if a clinic may be a possibility for your husband. I wish you both the very best!

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.
