Has anyone successfully come off methadone and remained clean so far?
I was an IV user of anything i could rig up to shoot in my veins, primarily Dilaudid, for about 7 years. I've been going to a Methadone clinic for 3 years as of March 19th, 2010. Since being there, I have not touched one drug, one drink, or one cigarette even. I know it will be slow going, probably a year or so, but I would really like to start coming down, from 120mg , and try to quit. However, I'm SCARED TO DEATH that the moment I no longer have Methadone, I will quickly cave in to an urge to get high. Even though I know it has some effect on me, because obviously I'm relying on it , I no longer feel any kind of effect after taking it each morning. Sometimes I even forget to take it and will realize it mid morning and then go take it. I'd like to know if anyone who had an extremely severe addiction, like mine, used Methadone to " get clean" and is now off of it and has remained drug free??

My body is addicted to methadone, can anyone help me with this?
The Methadone is given to me by pain management dr's, and I have since had my last visit because I tried smoking canibus as another form of pain relief and was dismissed as a result. Please no chastising, I know what I did wrong, my question is, I have 1 bottle left 120qty , I'm used to taking 10mg x4 a day, I went through detoxing a few years ago and it took 6 months to get out of my system or to feel normal again, but it almost killed me and was the worst hell anyone could imagine, I know now at 43, there's NO way I could make it out of detoxing solo and live through it, I just know I would not be able to do it, I would have to leave my work for months, does ANYONE know of a decent way to get this stuff out of my life, I'm having trouble seeing another PM dr because when the records are transferred, it clearly shows I breached the contract and they always turn me away? Please, if anyone knows of the best way to do this, I would virtually owe them my life.....anybody please?
