Please don't go there! Trying to go the easy and cheap way means that other people could try to take advantage of you and get you hooked again, or give you fake methadone. You can get help in dealing with your addiction, but it means involving the medical profession, such as an addictions counseling center. I don't know what your medical options are, but going into rehab is a good way to safely deal with your addiction issues. Good luck, All the best in your attempts to get clean.

To answer your quesion, Yes, If you use methadone for pain relief some doctors will give you methadone (most likely if your pain is more severe, because methadone is a very potent opiate)... But if you are using it to come off another drug (as I assume you are, because you said 'clinic') then no, there isn't really any other [legal] way. BUT listen... instead of using methadone i strongly suggest you switch to Suboxone (buprenorphine), this medication is also used to come off drugs, and you can go to a specialist and get the medication through your insurance. (Suboxone is all over a MUCH better, more effective, SAFER medication than methadone)
