In larger cities you can probably find pain clinics.  Typically, methadone isn't used for simply pain management any longer, there are newer treatments that have been widely studied as being more effective with a lower risk of long term dependancy-  the pain clinics or pain management centers can determine from your medical past what has not worked and formulate a new and hopefully effective care plan for you.  It may be something as simple as a fentanyl lollipop or patch or it may be a drug combined with biofeedback therapy.  \ngood luck

There's a thing called the "Little Blue Book" and it has a listing of all the drs in your general area in PA. You could probably contact your healthcare provider or any health insurance company to find out where to obtain a copy- even if you don't have any coverage yourself. You can usually find the number to contact them by looking on the back of any insurance card. Good luck and if you need help in Pittsburgh PA, feel free to email me- I work as an emerg telephone operator at an answering srvc for drs, etc.

Find a drug dealer ... you don't need a prescription with them ... that's how half of those people get their drugs ... between them, family members or friends ... we have a friend how has his medical card and gets whatever type of THC products he wants ... you just have to know the right people that's all ... !

You mean feeling pain 24/7's...Yep, drag isn't it!!\n\nHere in Oregon we have a more open approach to pain management. Several years ago (2-3) we  have a pain management commission to help us who have chronic pain. The link is below and maybe your state has one?\nWe are one of a few states who have legalized marijuana to be used for pain management. \nPain is one of the top conditions people go into the doctor for! Codeine does not help all that much. Been there done that with the drugs. Isn't it nice to be a legal drug user (this is sarcasm). Doctors being the drug pushers, here try this that doesn't work try this. \nThen if you go to a new doctor you got to darn near have a copy of your medical records in your hands or they think you are a druggie trying to get your meds cause you need a high.....if you do not have the records with you they want you to pay for all the tests to be repeated, this is expensive!\nPain meds put me into a seizure (I have these too) not long ago so I am still not real happy with the legal drug pushers I call the doctors....\nOne of my conditions is RA (my system attacks itself), very painful! My fingers and toes curl in the most painful un natural ways....and the pain in my joints OMG! \nSo I do understand! I hope someday that these diseases that cause so much pain will soon be terminated!\n\nBTW it would be nice to be drug free, however after almost 30 years of daily pain I am not that strong anymore...it wears you down...

I tried REIKI. I went from wanting small doses of morphine to not needing anything at all. There are no guarantees with anything and don't EVER give up your regular treatments, but I don't thnk REIKI will hurt and its worth a try. I have inflamatory osteo arthritis and fibromyalgia.

Check with your local mental health department or department of human services to see if there is a local rehab he can go to.  He needs help.  I work in a pharmacy and I see so many people come through that are addicted.  You see it first hand and I know it is not pretty.  Get him help.  He might be mad at first but he will say thank you in the end.  Good luck!

I have this too. You need to ask your doctor to send you to a pain management specialist. I take 2 vicodin a day. I take a noninflammatory. A antidepressant. I use ice packs. I had a couch made for me. It only has one long cushion on it. With that and pillows. I get the support that helps. There is only so much they can do for you. A nerve block is one. Surgery is another. Hope you find the help you need. God bless.

Is there like, a regional office listed in phone book?  or look in "support group listings" in newspaper; or call churches-- lots of times groups meet there.  If all else fails, call national office?\n\nkeep coming back, it works if you work it!

St Vincent DePaul and the Salvation Army also provide assistance to families in need.  You can also check with Narcotics Anonymous to see if they can hook you up with a treatment program in your area.  Even if your substance problem isn't with "narcotics" they can assist you in finding a suitable program or orgainization to help meet your needs.  They have local chapters all over the country and are staffed by people who are in recovery.  Take Care and I hope this helps get you the help you need!

my own experience is that i was only ready to stop using drugs when i was ready and no one could have made me, i too lost my home and my daughter was taken off me as the drugs had that much power over me. i didnt want the life i was living and was frightened of a life without drugs!!! i was the only person who could change me!! narcotics anonymous deals with the addict that still suffers and if she wants to stop using i suggest you give her the help line number, there she will find people like herself who are living drug free and rebuilding there lives on a daily basis. i also suggest that you contact families anonymous where you will find the support of other people who have been where you are now. the narcotics anonymous web address is below i havent got one for families anonymous but if you did a google search you will find relevent web sites. i hope this helps????

Ask your doc to send you to pain management, the doc may be leary of narcotic pain killers.

Those two are opiate derived and will be hard to get. You'd have to find a site in a country where opiates are over the counter, and I don't know of any. Many other pain medicines however can be obtained from Europe or Canada. As long as they aren't a class controlled substance you should be fine.

you have got to realize that those susidal attempts are not a game!!! you think you've made through many times but, that's what my uncle said and the very next time he tried he died!!!! so, stop that silly game and get those pills out of your system and the dark clouds will clear from your head. Pain killers are downers and thats a strong one which probably can cause hallucinations and major depression. first step tell family members or friends you want to get help and do it for god sake before you end up where my uncle is 6ft under!!!! GOOD LUCK!! you need God and you need rehab so stop now STOP STOP ABUSEING AND KILLING YOURSELF INSIDE AND GET SOME HELP YOU HAVE EVERYTHING TO LIVE FOR SO PLEASE DO IT FOR YOUR FAMILY FOR YOURSELF PLEASE!!!!!!!

Sadly, if there were quick easy money out there, we'd all be going for it.  There isn't, really.  Best thing to do, I think, is look for other folks who are in a similar situation and pick their brains.  And/or talk w/ someone in a temp agency to get a feeling for the needs in your community.  Might be able to do some non-internet based computer work (medical transcriptionist?), or possibly phone work... hope things work out for you!
