Methadone Doctor (Page 4) (Top voted first)

Hi. I need to find help. I am addicted to pain pills and would really like to get off of them. I have tried methadone and it works, i just need help finding a doctor to prescribe it for me. I live in Michigan. If anyone knows could you please help me? I cant go to a clinic because i dont live near one. I live in the upper penninsula but would drive downstate to get a doctor.....

Dear Mr. Enuff,
Apparently you believe in God as you stated "God Help You All." You should be ashamed. WOEFULLY ashamed. Do yourself a favour and READ. RESEARCH. I was addicted to Opiates due to chronic pain but was not on them long enough to suffer what these people are going through. I do take a Rx Pain Med. which bind with the Opiate Receptors in the brain: Tramadol. I've read articles that state withdrawl from THIS Rx is JUST as bad as Heroin withdrawal. EVEN if you believe the members of this forum began their addiction recreationally, consider this: Researchers have begun exploring PRESCRIBING Opiates to people with Clinical Depression. Why? Because many people who start for "The High," are DEPRESSED. It's a CHEMICAL IMBALANCE.
Then there are those, like me, who take these Rx Drugs because we HAVE to. Have you lived with Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Spinal Injury.......like me? No? Didn't think so? We go through what's called "Tolerance Withdrawl," the strength we're prescribed no longer WORKS. This is one reason people want OFF THE DRUGS.
I truly, truly pity you. Truly I do. One accident. One disease....Does Cancer run in your family? Trust me, the pain from Cancer is UNBEARABLE and you, too my friend will be "Getting High."
I can hardly TYPE the pain is radiating throughout my body so much. If the day comes when I DO or CAN begin withdrawal....I DREAD it. And, I dread people like you who have NO understanding. NONE.
God has already BLESSED these people. YOU are the one who needs the blessings.

You clearly have been taking too much of the pain medicine you say you "HAVE" to take. You should be ashamed of yourself for saying such hurtful thing to people. Pain is pain and you of all people should have compassion. You kept mentioning God, like your some good person. Check yourself because what you've put out there is awful, mean and extremely insensitive. I suffer from a very rare form of arthritis, i've been on the narcotic pain meds before (overcame physical dependence with methadose treatment via methadose clinic), then made the decision to live drug free. While still dealing with pain, i've learned how to manage with different types of exercise, foods and a good spiritual life and awareness; something you clearly are void of, yet you think you know everything. Pain meds YOU HAVE to take (LOL)!

Tommy. Any pain clinic doctor will prescribe u methadone. You sound like you have a good reason to be on it. Just explain to the doctor you like that methadone lasts a long time in your system and it will be better for your liver if you switched over to it. Any doctor with a heart should help u out. Most pain management physicians are sympathetic to your needs

Ok listen up ppl, there r doctors that will prescribe methadone to heroin addicts like a maintance clinic would and u only have to see them monthly or by monthly. A good way to find one is starting on the subutex list to find a doctor call and ask if they also give methadone, and go thru the list. Probably 90% won't but then u only have to make 10 calls. These docs exist I got one. Tho in my experience u won't get nearly as high of a dose off a clinic

I live outside in Knoxville TN and have been going to Georgia twice a month to the methadone clinic. The one in Knoxville is unacceptable. Anyway I would so much like to see a private doctor locally. Does anyone know of a private physician in Knoxville ?

Guess what, I almost died in a car wreck. Now I live with VERY bad back and shouler pain. I cant even hardly use my left are and need special pillows made just so I can sleep with my back pain. I have 3 rods in my back keeping it together. So YES< YES< YES...I DO need these pain meds. YOu are an A**hole and have never experanced pain I am guessing. Here is the problem...When you have a problem like mine all you can do it take meds to try to help it. I have seen over 15 different doctors about it. The problem is that you get use to the amount yuou take and it doesnt halp anymore so you need to take more, or something stronger. It sucks and NOT a place most of us want to be in. I dont wish anythinf bad upon you but before you make a comment like this try to learn a little more and know what you are talking about. You suck and should be ashamed of yourself for picking on people who need to live their lives in pain because some drunk A-hole runs a red light....Thanks for understand OUR side before even asking. Have a GREAT pain free life.

I also attend a clinic in Knoxville tn and i agree totally they have gone crazy with all the rules.im not saying that i don't think that there should be rules but i feel like if your doing what you are supposed to and really working your treatment you should be rewarded.I think that alot of the counselors there have the big head and control people being able to get there take homes (even the ones that are following the rules)and the prices are krazy they just keep going up and up. and your totally screwed if you piss someone off there because they never forget it and make things really hard for you and you cant just switch to another one in Knoxville because the only other one is owned by the same people.They change doctors over there almost as much as i change underwear..lol..but seriously you will have one doctor tell you one thing and then another tell you something different.I know that being a addict is something that I brought upon my self and is my burden to curry but I have been a patient of that clinic for a year and a half and have over 6 to 7 months of consistently clean ua's and my life has changed alot since I started there but Ive still not been able to get higher then code 3 and every time that I would ask why that is my counselor would say well we don't want you having any more take home medication because you have small children in the household,and also because you have no job and the state will wonder why we are giving you that many take homes and think that you are possibly selling your medication to pay your bill.But okay for her saying that my children are a reason makes no sense at all because I do at this time get some take homes so what about those they obviously think that I keep them put up and away that they give me what I got because honestly if I didn't do that or they didn't feel like I did they shouldn't give me any at all and as for me not having a job well I don't have a job im a stay at home mother but my husband does work part time.I don't sell my medication I need it I cant hardly function without it and if I didn't then I sure as hell wouldn't be there.I always say to her that I know hundreds of other patients who have children and no job and they have weekly even monthly's and then she always says your treatment is never going to be successful until you stop comparing your self to other people, and the rules are not always the same we asses every case differently. Well what she says about them treating every one differently is defiantly the truth if you have a good counselor or have always kissed ass and been a suck up,or just lucky I guess then yea you can maby go far but if not your screwed,and for those of you who don't know the state guidelines for getting weekly take home medication is being there at least 9 months and have at least 6months of clean ua's and I have all of those things plus. I wouldn't care to drive over there everyday but for the fact that the gas prices are killing me and not to mention me and my husband only have one vehicle so him getting to work on time is nearly impossible and I have to bring my children with me every single day and that's not fair to them or not a place that I want my child to be at that often.So I'm also looking for a doctor that would be willing to prescribe methadone in the tn area if any one has any info I would greatly appreciate it. Thanx!

Reading all these post's at least let's me know that I am not alone in fighting this never ending battle of finding and keeping a decent Dr. that will prescribe enough Methadone so that I can have some quality of life - which BTW I think everyone deserves. I have recently been kicked out of my PM clinic because one of my urine tests came back with oxycodone in it. The absolute cruel, evil, non-compassionate twist to that is that my PM Dr. was the one that prescribed it for me when I first started seeing her as well as Methadone. It did not work at all for my breakthrough pain so I she gave me Morphine 30mg and they did work so I just kept the rest of the oxy just in case I ever needed it. She never told me that I wasn't allowed to take it and it had actually happened the same way 6 month's ago and I just told her that I had to take a couple of doses of it when I had taken my max of the other 2 med's and she said "ok that's fine"!! So I'm now being denied by all the other PM Dr.'s that I try to see because of this and I didn't do ANYTHING wrong. Anyway - I did come across a website that many of you may find helpful - believe it or not they actually do have a list of Dr.'s that prescribe Methadone + Suboxone and you can tailor the search for your city and state. It's MethadoneDocs.com - Good Luck and I hope it help's.
