Question: Question about methadone?

(Posted by: janiegirl on 2010-07-28 08:17:07)

I have a friend who has been on Methadone for years now and I'm wondering how much does it cost on average to go to a clinic for Methadone everyday? What is a weekly cost? What is a monthly cost? Could anyone help me with this? I'm sort of worried about her ability to ever come off this. Thanks for your answers and help!

Methadone is very addictive and very hard to withdrawal from... on the average a person will pay $12 - $15 a day for a dose... sometimes more depending on the clinic.. he/ she should really try to get off of that as soon as possible... methadone is drug that helps you get off of other narcotic drugs and should not be used for a long period of time.. a person should gradually slow down on taking it and eventually they shouldnt need it anymore... if the person is misusing the drug and abusing it then they should seek help from a detox or treatment center.

I am on methadone and actually some states have medical assistance which covers the full cost of this drug,so i pay nothing before it became active i paid 85/ week which was extremely difficult but i had family to help me manage it is a very helpful drug to help u come of of things like heroin,but like the past writer stated its very addicting and one shouldnt rely on this for the rest of their lives! I have asked how does come off of it, i was johns hopkins bayview, and my counseler told me you can do a blind detox(this is where u r slowly taken off of the drug at an extremely slow rate) almost to the point where ur body doesnt even realize its missing the drug! I have seen older individuals come in and have been on it for years with briefcases full of take homes! and to me this is sad cause for the rest of their life they have to depend on this drug! They also said that its smart to come off at a slow rate and when u are pretty much stable in life, not when a ton of things are going wrong,etc
