Methadone Doctors Philadelphia Pa (Top voted first)

I need a mehtadone clinic in philadelphia. I was unfairly taken off my last clinic. I have mehtadone in my system. I have been forced to get pills on my own and that can be dangerous

There r several methadone clinics in Philadelphia! The majority of them r in not so nice neighborhood & they require u to spend alot of time there doing groups. They r $ makers & I'm sure some of them care about their patients, but must just c them as $ signs! Smh... I would recommend u try everything else before u get on a methadone clinic. Good luck! #8yearsclean!

Michele, I have actually found only one listing for a Methadone treatment clinic in Philadelphia.

And Page, many doctors are reluctant to prescribe it, due to its addictive nature.

The only thing I can really suggest is contacting Kensington Hospital, there are listed as having a treatment center and they may be able to help you, or refer both of you to someone that can, their contact information is:

Main Number: (215) 426-8100x6314
Intake Number: (215) 426-8100x6005

Does anyone else have any suggestions?

Same thing happened to me.. i got on subutext n then finally got stabalized on suboxone after having to leave my clinic, but then i had to recently be hospitalized and put into a drug induced coma in for a serious case of pnemonia that caused my lung to fill with fluid. They had to put me on pain medication while i was in the hospital and while i was in a coma so they took me off the suboxone and put me back on methadone. I didn't have insurance at the time so they sent me home with a half a script of methadone n told me to wein myself off.. i truly do not want to use anything else. Ive been trying to get on a program in Philadelphia but they all have extremely long waiting lists and will not accept you if u have methadone in ur system. Its really sad because the options for u or i would be to either take another opiate until the methadone is out of r systems (which im not goin to do) or fake a drug panel... so the best option is to FAKE UR URINE!! Just get clean pee from someone and then put some type of opiate in it or just find someone who has opiates in there system just not any methadone or benzos.. my husband had to do it to get on the clinic... good luck tho n let me kno how u made out

I live in Mass. I have been on 300 mg/daily for chronic pain due to spina bifida and post polio. I am finding it difficult to find a room to rent in a house. I also take other fast acting narcotics. I had my meds stolen by my last landlord and her daughter. It added notoriety to me. I desparately need a room but I must tell my. future landlord. When they my large bottles they panic. what can I do.

Hi! Do you get methadone 4 chronic pain OR 4 opiate addiction? As far as trying 2 find another physician willing to even write 4 a methadone RX on a monthly basis....ERR....THAT is going to be a tough! Methadone unfortunately gets an unfair shake in my opinion! Ppl misuse it, abuse it, abuse the clinic "system," lie, throw tantrums when things don't go their way, use benzodiazepines and then either die or get mad when the clinic wants them to either A.) go to rehab to get off of Xanax, k-pins etc or B.) if the person refuses to go to rehab & refuse to quit benzodiazepines then taper them off & kick them out 4 GOOD REASON! So, b/c of the bad wrap methadone gets and the multiple & many deaths occurring due to misuse, abuse, or overdose Dr.'s are all that more leery about writing scripts even for the true chronic pain patients out there. It is against the law & a Dr. can lose their license 4 prescribing methadone for maintenance purposes. I pay out of pocket 4 my Methadone @ a philly burb clinic and it's almost $400/month. I drive an old @$$ car because I can't afford a car payment due to the fact I already have one & drive the juice mobile. I would love nothing more than to be able to have a Dr. write a script 4 me as well. I have private health insurance and I would have $390 in my pocket every month from saving money. Even tho I have insurance my insurance will NOT pay 4 methadone maintenance or even reimburse me. I find this to be stupid as he!! Subutex & suboxons is more $$$. Subutex did NOT work 4 me. The subs never quenched "my thirst" for dope. I did really try to make the subs work. I was on them 4 over 4 years. IMO if u have a needle addiction/fixation then the subs don't work. Some ppl just have worse 4 wear addictions & methadone works much better. Methadone literally saved my life & in turn saved my childrens' emotional state as well. I was completely anti-methadone due to listening 2 ppl's war stories & seeing all of the bull**** that ppl try to pass thru & expect to not get reprimanded. It IS the ppl NOT the methadone that is the problem. If you use good common sense & judgement regarding methadone & have a hefty sense of respect 4 the medication then it'll work miracles 4 your life IF you allow it to! If you should happen 2 find a Dr. here that would be willing 2 write 4 a serious recovering opioid addict that has been clean & follows rules & directions then please let us know! Otherwise I think it's going 2 be years B4 us ppl will be able to see changes regarding methadone restrictions for prescribing....if ever. Man kind is our biggest enemy.

I've been going to a clinic for my methadone for 9 yrs., in which time I've always had clean U/A's and no relapse. I want to find a doctor who'll prescribe methadone tablets for pain/addiction in Lancaster, PA or I'll travel to Philadelphia, PA if I have to. Ty. Also, I am on Medicaid (gateway ins.).

Re: Nicole (# 3)

NET Steps on State Rd isn't that bad, 19136. I think SOAR is at Welsh and the Blvd. The Healing Way is on Frankford right before Rhawn (cash only and 3-6 months for your first bottle. [why would anyone pay 125 a week for that]

I am trying to find a Pain Management doc here in Philly who will write me out my monthly methadone because being around the clinic and the people there just gets me in the wrong frame of mind.

Re: joe (# 5)

You collect Disability or SSID i imagine? and if that's the case you're probably Medicaid. I don't know how they doing public housing where you r from but here in Phila you would have to visit county assistance and apply for some rental assistance/Section 8. anything to do with the county or state i cant help but I work for SSA so if you have any questions about Disability, Retirement, SSID, SSAI, SSDC, Auxiliary/spouse/survivor/childs etc. just lmk

Re: Angie (# 10)

If I was you i would do everything in my power to NOT come into the city if you don't have to.

Everyone is overbooked, the staff at all agencies/drs offices/hospitals don't give a s***, they're selling that s*** everywhere now. And if you ever do have to come here... hurry up, do your business, and leave asap
