L.a. Help Finding Pain Doc To Ween Off Methadone

Hello,
I'm a 24 year old female and was put on methadone years ago by a money hungry so called doctor. I have a legit MRI, reason, all that. I don't care about being drug tested I just need a doctor that cares enough to help me safely get off this evil drug. I'm trying to get help but I'm just getting the run around and I'm almost to tears. I just got back into UCLA, am trying to really start my life, and methadone and all the health problems it has caused have ruined everything before and is jeopardizing everything again. If anyone knows a doctor in the Los Angeles or San Fernando valley region I would really appreciate it. Please, I'm not looking for anything except legit help. In advance, thank you anyone for your time.

Hi, Anna! I am so sorry about what you're going through. Methadone is a very hard drug to ever stop.

Have you considered looking into treatment with Suboxone?

They have a website that lets you look for doctors that treat with it in your area at suboxone.com

It has enabled many people to become drug free and it doesn't require any stays in a rehab facility or daily visits to a clinic, just some counseling sessions.

Learn more Suboxone details here.

And since it also contains a potent opiate, it can help with pain.
