Looking for Dr to help me detox off of 50 mgs a day. I am currently going to a clinic and with working full time I cannot keep going every day, because of my new job. Does anyone know a dr in the Louisville area that will prescribe methadone?? Please help. I would greatly appreciate your time!

Hello, Angel! How are you?

Unfortunately, a private practice doctor would not be allowed to help you with this, it would be illegal for him to do so. You're only option is to remain at the clinic and ask them to help you taper off.

The FDA classifies this medication as a This is an opiate, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

The other alternative would be to see if you could switch to Suboxone and then taper off it, since it doesn't require daily appointments.

You can check for a Suboxone doctor in your area by using the search engine on the website at Suboxone.com click here.

Is there anything else I can help with?
