Private Doctor To Prescribe Methadone Instead Of Clinics In Fort Worth Tx (Page 3)
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I took Hydrocodone for pain for several years and became very dependent. I have been going to a Methadone Clinic now for 2 years and it saved my life. I have led a productive life since. I take care of my parents and they both are bedbound. It is getting so hard for me to go to the clinic daily. Does anyone know of a private doctor in Fort Worth Texas that subscribes Methadone? Thank you for your help

I really need a methadone doctor for pain AND addiction maint. I also take pain medication but it was actually cheaper to get H so i became an addict FAST! I cant live like this anymore but i cant live with the pain either. im a young man, 29 years old but living the fast life and crashing multiple vehicles turned my bones to mush. please help. I need a doc to prescribe methadone for pain as well. if anyone knows one near the North Side of houston, preferably the woodlands area or conroe let me know. I have no insurance either and keep getting denied even though i cant find work due to my shady past. im trying to get my life back together and it just seems to not want to happen! my e-mail is {edited for privacy}. A good doctor that is understanding of my situation would be greatly appreciated. ALSO methadone only costs like 90$ without insurance to fill an entire month! suboxone is 10$ per PILL without insurance. thanks for your time everyone i hope someone finds it in there heart to drop me a line.

If you are in Texas and have been on Methadone 2 years, you should be going once a month. Usually the way you have to still do daily is if you had a positive U/A for other drugs. If you have a prescription, that does not count as a positive U/A. I started getting weekly take homes by 4 months and biweekly at 6-9 months. then it jumps to once a month. The methadone clinics in Texas are HORRIBLE!!! All the other states know about it, too. My clinic up north even had aerobic daily if we wanted.to be in it. They had group counseling and individual; counseling and they act as if they REALLY CARE plus, it's very professional and you feel like you are in a doctors office not a crack house. I don't know why Texas does that but Texas has a bad enough reputation for being a bunch of uneducated rednecks. (I'm a Texas so I don't agree, I'm just stating facts) and all the other states know of Texas reputation for methadone clinics. They need to open a Discover House in Texas. They're great!

Could you tell me if you found a doctor? I live in Arlington and suboxone caused GI problems. I don't need to use insurance. I just want confidentiality and a doctor that won't give me a hassle. I don't want to take hydrocodone ever again. I just want something that will keep me from thinking about it 24 hrs a day

Chronic pain, I was seeing a neurologist and have had my methadone prescribed to me naturally for chronic pain. I've had spinal.cord surgery and even have mobility issues. My doctor after 40 yrs is retiring. Is there anyway I could get the name of your neurologist. I am not being detoxed and my Dr does have a list of my medical files. I have an appt. With his referral but this is a new doctor and Im still nervous about how the appointment may go. Some Neurologists will not do pain management even though the source of my chronic pain is from my spine (T1-T12)!!. I would and will compensate you in some way for a reliable neurologist that understands my condition. I've never done illicit drugs and am in dire need of a real doctor for my very real disability. Thank you, Jenna.

I just moved to Fort Worth TX, and I am going to run out of my methadone. I was told by a methadone clinic that they only help addicts. I'm on it for pain management. Did anyone ever find help here in Fort worth? I am so afraid of detox! I need to find a Doctor who will write low dose prescriptions, to continue the prescription I have been on, for going on 9 years now. Please.... can anyone help me?

Hello, I have chronic pain and have had Spinal Cord Surgery, T1-T12, as well as many other surgeries. I am disabled and the Dr that prescribed me methadone for the past few years has a health condition of his own and is closing his office. I am an urgent need of a Dr that prescribes methadone. I cannot do a daily trek to a clinic and my needs are for pain management. I do not take illicit drugs or have done anything that would qualify me to go to a clinic as they are rehabilitative treatment centers for opiod abuse. Please get back to me because I know that there are prescribing methadone Doctors available in the Dallas Fort Worth area that would be more than happy to be my new doctor. My naturagratitude for helping me locate one is beyond words as I am in a dire situation. I made the bad assumption that my Dr would naturally refer me or even detox me if he ever were to be unable to stay open. Thank you very much. Jenna

Im going to check in to that. Do you live in DFW? I am aware that clinics cannot do pain management, but they are treating me for the dependence. My previous pain mgmt dr decided he didnt want to prescribe methadone anymore because of the government cracking down, and suggested methadone clinics.

Chad - Your clinic can request an "exception" from the state and federal authorities to get you up to 30 days of takehomes over and above what you normally qualify for under the regs when you're traveling, have business, etc. You can also go to CSAT's OTP Directory and set up guest dosing at clinics along your journey...but I agree we need to expand OBOT (office based opioid treatment) with methadone for long term, stable patients. Currently OBOT is only offered in NYC and one in Baltimore despite being allowed under the new federal regs for methadone since the early 00's.

If you are being prescribed methadone for pain management then you wouldn't be attending a methadone clinic (opioid treatment program). Clinics can NOT do pain management - they treat opioid dependence only by federal regulations. Methadone in the treatment of chronic pain is prescribed by a private physician and filled at a retail pharmacy.

I was attending the clinic only 3 times a week by 6 months, once a week by 9 months, every 2 weeks by 1 year and once a month by 2 years. This is per the federal regulations (42CFR). Some states further restrict takehomes & require longer times in treatment before receiving certain amounts of takehome doses, but in NO state will you still be attending the clinic daily after 3 months unless you are having illicit substances appear on your drug checks.

Methadone can not legally be prescribed by a physician for the maintenance treatment of addiction. The only way it can be prescribed by a private physician & filled at a retail pharmacy is if it is prescribed for the treatment of chronic pain.

I encourage everyone to look for the truth, facts & *credible,* accurate information. I've read a lot of misinformation and half truths in this thread.

You should not have to go to a clinic daily after two years, unless you have illicit drugs in your UA's. You should have a monthly pick up after 2 years on a methadone clinic. Get an state advocate if your clinic is screwing you around. Read your state and federal regulations for methadone clinics. What I am telling you is the truth.
