Methadone For Herion Addict (Page 2)
(Newest replies first)

Updated

IF I AM GOING TO A LOCAL METHADONE CLINIC , AM ON 150MG LIQUID A DAY SO I CAN BE PRODUCTIVE. BUT,IT COSTS ME 13.00 PER DAY. IT MAKE ME REALLY TIRED. BUT, SO DOES HERION. I AM AFRAID THAT I WON'T BE ABLE TO AFFORD IT MUCH LONGER, NOT WANT TO GO BACK TO HEROIN. I CAN'T GET A DR TO TREAT ME BECAUSE OF MY PROBLRM. I WAS RECENLTY HOPITALIZED AFTER GOING TO TH GYM AN WORKING OUT, I WORKED TO HARD, AND MY OPIATE RECEPTORS ARE SATURATED WITH OPIATE SO THE OPIATE WAS STORED IN MY MUSCLES AND SLOWLY RELEASED AS I BEGAN TO WORKOUT. MY MUSCLES BROKE DOWN AND MY BLOOD WAS POISENED. WHERE CAN I GET A DR. OR BETTER YET CHEAPER METHADONE.

I'm currently addicted to Heroin in a bad way, (not that there are pretty ones I'm sure) I've attempted this ordeal w/ limited Qt. of Methadone multipule times and w/ out a predetemined schedule w/ abismal results to the dismay of the few loved ones I have left. A friend about 25 yrs my senior agrees w/ Jenny's assessment of her mother; X Heroin addict Vs. Methaone addict. I tried a substance my friend approves of, Buprenorphine, I failed it. The medication requires a minnimum wait of 24 hours w/o before consumtion then it takes another 12 to become effective which after al that wait didn't hold my withdrawls at all.

All this and more illict means I've have attempted over several months strictly on my own w/o a stable supply, real planned actions, or time to rest w/o working thru these times. I am interested to know what you, any of you like me, would have found helpful to know when you started IE: Is methadone really the best to get serious w/ if I don't want to be stuck 6 months from now searching for the cheepest Done in town, what is fast acting/ long lasting not an antogonsit but isn't worthless. What is the best way to get onto a program while keeping a day job, or at the very least not loosing a whole month of pay to expensive in-pt stays.

I really appricate any in-sights offered, wether or not their from someone off it all for months or someone who knows that methadone daily keeps Needles in haystacks and knitting baskets.

Truthfully I am really worried i'll be view as a seeker if I try to get help uncommited to an in patient clinic but to even my own surprise I've maintained an apt, job, and a s*** load of debt keeping well to work is expensive at GM. daily.

I'm six steps from losing the Girl who makes it worth it & litteral every thing else but she still takes top billing in this life. (she isn't hasn't and probley won't ever be a junkie) WHO HAS GOOD ADVICE FOR ME?

DAN,
THAT IS AN OUTSTANDING COMMENT TO JENNY. I WONDER HOW SHE TREATS HER MOTHER SINCE SHE HAS ABSOLUTELY NO EDUCATION WHEN IT COMES TO UDERSTANDING AND COMMUNACATING WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE LIKE HER MOTHER AND YOU AND I, AND COUNTLESS OTHERS THAT HAVE THE DISEASE OF ADDICTION.

AND BENGALL, DAN IS RIGHT WITH HIS ADVISE TO YOU. WE ARE ALL BEHIND YOU, AND WILL HELP YOU ALL THAT WE CAN.

HAVE A FREAT DAY,
WENDELL

BENGALL, CONGRATS ON KICKING HERION AND GETTING OFF THE METH, BUT YOU ARE PUTTING YOURSELF IN A HIGH RISK SITUATION. YOUR TELLING YOURSELF THAT IT IS OK. TO SMOKE WEED. IVE SEEN THIS HAPPEN TO ALOT OF PEOPLE IN RECOVERY. YOU HAVE TO STOP ALL ILLEGAL DRUG ACTIVITY.YOU ARE CONVINCING YOURSELF THAT IT IS O.K. TO GET HIGH ON WEED AND IT IS GOING TO KEEP PROGRESSING UNTIL YOU CONVINCE YOURSELF THAT GETTING HIGH ON DOPE IS O.K. TRUST ME ON THIS, AS ADDICTS WE CONVINCE OURSELVES THAT WE CAN HANDLE IT, BUT WE CANT. THIS IS WHY EVERYONE OF US FOUND THIS WEB PAGE. WE ARE ADDICTS AND WE NEED THE HELP AND SUPPORT OF OTHER ADDICTS. FROM 1 ADDICT TO ANOTHER PUT THE SMOKE DOWN AND THEN COME BACK AND TELL US HOW YOU KICKED THE DOPE, METH AND WEED. I THINK THAT WILL BE A GREAT INSPIRATIONAL STORY TO HEAR. IN THE MEAN TIME GET THE HELP YOU NEED TO KICK THAT WEED HABIT. WE ARE ALL BEHIND YOU. GOOD LUCK.

JENNY,
It's like Dan say's, If you have not walked in our shoe's you can not say the comment's like you said . By the way didn't you say that your mother was un-employed!!, How did her 30 day treatment at a treatment center get paid? Probably by the State, HUH. You should be more supportave since you know that addiction is a diease that your Mother most certainaly has. God Bless your Mother, I pray that she keep's up the good work and stays Sober. Tell her that the millions of addicts are behind her 100 %.
Have A Good Day,
Wendell

jenny until you have walked in the shoes of an addict and faced poverty first hand,a comment like that was totally uncalled for. i dont know your financial situation but it dose not sound like you know what its like to struggle with the disease of addiction and poverty, because if you did you would have never made a comment like that.totally uncalled for.

I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL.WHEN I WAS ACTIVE IN MY ABUSE I DID WHATEVER I HAD TO DO TO GET MONEY. I WAS THE BIGGEST CON ARTIST I KNEW. NOW THAT I'M SOBER I CAN'T CON A BABY OUT OF ITS CANDY.BUT ANYWAY THAT WAS THE PAST AND THIS IS NOW AND ILL TRY TO HELP YOU THE BEST I CAN. ASK THE METHADONE CLINIC YOU ARE IN IF THEY TAKE GOVERMENT ASSISTED INSURANCE, IF THEY DO THEY SHOULD GIVE YOU ALL INFO YOU NEED TO SIGN UP FOR IT. IF THEY DONT TAKE THE INSURANCE OR THEY DO AND DONT HAVE ANY INFO FOR YOU ON HOW TO SIGN UP FOR ASSISTANCE,PICK UP THE YELLOW PAGES AND GO TO THE BLUE PAGES SECTION. THIS IS WHERE ALL THE CITY, STATE, AND FEDERAL GOVT. TELEPHONE #'s ARE.GO TO THE STATE GOVT. SECTION AND LOOK FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN SERVICES. CALL THEM AND EXPLAIN YOUR SITUATION AND THEY WILL POINT YOU IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. I HOPE THIS HELPS. ILL KEEP LOOKING FOR YOUR COMMENTS IF YOU STILL NEED HELP. GOOD LUCK

Dan, How or Who do you contact to get help with the money for Methadone treatment. I am currently un-employed and have a medicade card. I have been trying for disability, but you know how that goes, I have been turned down and have an attorney now. But back to my question, Please let me know the process for getting help with the payment for methadon. It is amaizing that when I was using I could come up with a large amount of money on a dailey basis, now it is hard to come up with the $65.00 per week.

I AM A RECOVERING HERION ADDICT ON A METHADONE MAINTANANCE PROGRAM. I TOO WAS IN SAME SITUATION. IT SOUNDS AS IF YOUR FINANCES ARE SIMULAR TO MINE. WHAT I DID WAS GO TO MY STATE WELFARE DEPARTMENT AND EXPLAINED TO THEM MY SITUATION AND GOT HELP SO I COULD CONTINUE MY TREATMENT. IF YOU ARE WORKING UNDER THE TABLE,KEEP IT TO YOURSELF.IF YOU ARE WORKING ON THE BOOKS MAYBE THEY CAN ASSIST YOU AND IF YOU ARE UNEMPLOYED,THE BETTER(SAD BUT TRUE). THE LESS MONEY YOU PRODUCE THE BETTER TREATMENT YOU GET FROM THE STATE. MOST STATES WORK WITH METHADONE CLINICS,CHECK AND SEE IF YOURS DOES.WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE YOUR SOBRIETY OR EVEN WORSE YOUR LIFE. GOOD LUCK

Their is a better drug called Suboxone, I am going to check with two local doctors. according to the web site the drug has to be taken only once in a 48 hour period, and is a lot easier to detox from.
