Private Methadone Doctors (Page 2) (Top voted first)

Updated

Hello. I am a 26 year old male who has been struggling with opiate addiction for about a decade. Recently I tried the suboxone program which helped to a degree, but meds were way to expensive as well as the Drs appointment. So I am looking for help with my disease and I would like to know if methadone is the right route for me to go. Thanks

My friend paid $275.00 per visit. I am sorry they call it a "Participation Fee". Don't know what that means. Remember if you have a UA its cost is $290.00., They don't do a UA every time for my friend. It seems strange to me that how can you RX for narcotic (suboxone). A friend of mine goes to a pain management clinic, they tell him to come 30 min. before his appointment to fill out forms and a UA each visit before even seeing a doctor. He has said that he has seen many patients asked to leave because they came up positive on the diagnostics. A typical visit monthly to Applegate. You walk into the office the girl at the desk ask you to fill out the form. This takes about a minute. I find it strange but there is only one guest ion on the topic of drugs. It is "have you taken any drugs since your last viait.?". YES or NO. The rest of the questions are funny, like do you have problems peeing, do you poor regularly etc. etc etc. You know the form. After you fill out the form the lady at the desk will call you up to the desk. Again $275.00 or $290.00 for the UA. Again when i went with my friend, out of seven months of visits the friend was only given a UA twice. how do I know that, I have a bank statement showing "Applegate Recovery showing a charge of the $275.00 or a UA for $290.00. I always used my debit card. After you pay I don't know what happens. But I can tell you that my friend never was in the back for more than 10 minutes. So the way I see it you pay a lot of money for one thing, a RX You know I have read articles about the drug Suboxone, there are warnings it is hell on your liver, they tell you it is very important to do liver function teat regurally. My friend has been going there for years never did the doctor order a liver diagnostic. And last my friend and I were on our way for an appointment she was worried that she will not pass the UA IF they do check her. My friend and I were on our way home, I asked in the car how was your visit, for ten min. All my friend told me was my friend told the doctor that my friend was asleep on the couch and there was a lot of people around my friend partaking in Marijuana and that was why my friend came back positive. I asked what did the doctor say, my friend said the doctor said "don't worry about it", wrote the RX for Suboxone film and sent my friend on my friends way. I don't drugs, but a story like that I will not believe. To close I feel very sorry for a person who is addicted to drugs, it is a very serious disease. So here is a person trying to get off drugs and is being ripped off by a place who knows that the person needs them.

My friend is in trouble I believe, a doctor has prescribed a RX for Suboxone Film and a RX for Clonazepam she wrote a RX for 60 Clonazepam 1mg a month. I have been told never mix a opoid with a benzo. I have been told that taken alone are dangerous. Comments and suggestions PLEASE. Yes my friend is my WIFE, I feel this doctor is killing her. THANKS

A lot of people take these mess together..not saying that it is a pleasant experience. .nodding is unattractive to say the least..but if she has addiction issues as well as anxiety what other options does a person have.

Hi Rick, I'm in the same boat as you. I'm on the methadone for major pain medication. Would rather go through a private dr than atods in nambour as they are incompetent most times. If you have found a private Dr i would love to know who he/she is. {edited for privacy}. I hope things have worked out for you.

if she takes how she's supposed to she'll be fine.if you worry then you hold n give her her klonopiln. 1mg is not a lot. she should be fine. if she struggles with anxiety don't cause her to lose her meds.

Murrado, you are literally going to be at his office all day long!!! Be prepared. I do not recommend him but if that's what your looking for specifically you can get there. But as far as inj's. to help you and finding treatment to help you, you won't find that from him.
