My best friend is addicted to heroin and cant go to methadone clinic?
You have to have medicare to go to a philly clinic and she has private health ins which they will not accept nor let her pay cash to go to the clinic bc she has insurance. Are there any private doctors that could detox her with prescriptions? Will a pain clinic do that? She cannot go away to a detox. I know i will hear many cold hearted responses.. But looking to get her help asap. Thanks. Suboxone is not an option due to the cost.

Anybody know much about OPANA WITHDRAWALS? And methadone clinics?
It started in or around May 2010. I had a kidney stone removal surgery and stayed in the hospital for a total of 2 weeks with many many complications. During that time I recieved, 2mg dilaudid through my IV, every 4 hours. When I was feeling better it was time to go home, and my doc sent me home with one prescription of like 30 percocet 5 325. That was gone within days, and from then on I was a player in this so called opiate game. It was only the beginning. Pain pills were so easy to find, and it was an easy high I loved that warm feeling Ahhh. Anyways, it only got worse from there. I loved percocet, vicodin, roxycodone But my tolerance was getting higher and higher. At first, it was maybe just an example 2 3 percocet 10 325 a day, and I would be goooood, real good. The more I did, the higher my tolerance was, and I needed more. I was introduced to Opanas the beginning of 2011. I knew what they were before but I didn't know what I was getting myself into. I loved the fact that at first I could snort a line of an opana the width of my pinky nail and get an even more intense warm cozy feeling. I loved it. Let me cut to the chase, this Summer I got pretty bad on Opanas. I had one everyday. A 40mg everyday. And then it got to where my boyfriend and I need like 3 a day between us. Yeah, we bought 18 opanas last week. At $65 a pop. Do the math, makes me sick. I woke up yesterday morning wanting a pill, needing something... I felt like shit Withdrawals were about to begin. So I went to the emergency room, because I was running a fever, and diarreah started. I was just done with this game They gave me clonadine and phenegren. Which, together i feel okay. I have an appointment in the morning with a methadone clinic. Anybody know anything about that? I dont want to be high. I just dont want to be sick. Will it help? Also, is it me or does it seems like Opana withdrawals can kill you? Because i feel like im dying,.

Is someone who's been to a methadone clinic precluded from being licensed as a RN?
I have a friend, Sue, who was trying to become a physician assistant, and was ready to enter a program this fall. Then, another PA told Sue that she might couldn't get a license b c she had been to a methadone clinic in the past. The state board of medicine WV said that it was possible that she could find herself unable to be licensed after graduation. So, she decided to apply to a nursing program, but has not been able to get the state nursing board to answer her question. Also, I don't know if it matters, but Sue does have a medical condition for which she was prescribed narcotic pain relievers. She sought the help of a methadone clinic after developing a dependence on the pain pills, and then entered a Suboxone program to get off the methadone. She's very distraught that she may have irrevocably ruined her life by trying to get help, and needs to know ASAP whether she can enter a nursing program or not.

Can I lose my social security disability benefits because I start going to a methadone clinic?
I was going to pain management for many years and started abusing my meds. I have been in a Methadone Maintenance program before, but now that I am receiving monthly disability checks for my medical condition I am scared this might throw up a red flag and I will lose my disability because of me having an addiction substance abuse problem. I know from a previous experience that they ask for your SSN so they can create your new patient number from the state.

Methadone Clinics... Is anyone seeing what I'm seeing here?
Why the hell are these clinics an acceptable way to get people off of heroin?This drug has worse withdrawal symptoms than heroin that can last a very very long time. We shouldn't be getting people off drugs by putting them on different kinds of drugs. It is terrible what these clinics do to people, it just looks like a scam to me. They don't care about the health of the recovering addicts, they clearly just want money. I really feel bad for the people that have fallen into the trap that these clinics are. It's no doubt that a heroin addict is going to get addicted to methadone when they go there. If they're going to get addicted to heroin, they're going to get addicted to it's substitute as well. So can somebody tell me why these places are legal and accepted? Am I missing something here?" You can call me God" Addicts are NOT content on being addicts. You clearly do not understand how an addiction works. They would want more than anything to get off but their bodies and minds try their hardest to keep them on it through withdrawal symptoms.Meth is a bit different than heroin. The thing with meth and cocaine is that users just think they don't have a problem and that it is a perfectly acceptable way of living life. Once they realize they have a problem or are forced to quit by their family it's not as hard on the body as quitting heroin or methadone. With heroin or methadone you can want to quit really badly but the physical withdrawal symptoms are way too much to bear. With meth it's much more mental than physical. Sure, there are plenty of junkies that want to continue being junkies. But once they realize they have a problem via family or just by themselves, it's just terrible that this is what they are lead to most of the time. A lot of them just don't know what they are getting themselves into.I know it's a physical addiction too. It's just that compared to heroin the physical addiction to meth isn't shit. It's pretty sad that you don't have sympathy for people who have done the same things you have.
