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

Provide where you live and we can help better.  You don't want us to give you one from Jacksonville, FL if you are from San Diego, CA.  I can suggest calling a hospital and asking for a number.  Go to google and type in health clinic and the city/state you live in.  Click the first thing should say map or something similar.  Then call around.  \n\nHope this helps good luck.

Go to a pain clinic. They specialize in these problems. You are taking too much medicine and your tolerance to it is building up so that you will need more and more.

Call your local police department they can send you in the right direction.  Your doing a very good thing,  people like that make it hard for people who are really in pain to get the care they need.  Good luck and God bless

I can answer this personally. My DR. put me on it for chronic pain ; along with percosets, xanax, soma, all this together. I took myself off of the stuff. Methadone will kill you,. I know several people who have died from it. Go to   ask .com  Good Luck!

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

You might try asking your doctor about Buprenorphine.  Used for many of the same uses as methadone but maybe wouldn't be as bad with the side effects.\n\nBest of luck to you!

Obviously he is in an inpatient program, cause they do have meth clinics you go to daily. from what you say, 6 yearsof opiate addiction he was probably admitted into a detox first(hospital floor for addicts closed off to everyone else) depending on the amount of pills he was taking and the dose of meth he was on will depend on how long he stays usually 9-14 days they give you the methadone the highest dose they will give u is 40mg and they take you down 5 at a time until u r clear. they hold u a day w/o any meds and release u the day after usually. if u havent spoke to him in 2 mths they probably talked him in to going straight to a 28 day rehab, which is what they try to do with everyone provided u have insurance! its pretty strict when u first go in cause when you leave detox u r still pretty sick. I guess depending on where he went, the rules would vary, but i never heard of a place that didnt allow u to call your family. Im guessing he doesnt want to talk to u. I wouldnt take it personal, hes probably feeling pretty crappy, it takes a good few months to feel better and sometimes almost a year before u can sleep normally and just feel comfortable in your own skin. The rehab is completely drug free and its alot of groups and AA/NA meetings if he went in volontarally he could leave when he wants. If he was mandated by the courts he could get stuck in a program more like a TC, theraputic community which could be anywhere from 6mths to 2 years. some places allow visits 1a week like sundays. dont worry, he is in the best place he can be. methadone sucks, and it really takes a toll on the body. i swear i think heroin is easier to detox off than that crap. it feels like forever. Im sure you will hear something soon. but keep in mind hes in there to fix himself so sometimes the outside world is too much for someone to deal with, hes got enough problems of his own in there to bring in stuff that will mess w/ his head and throw him off track. i hope this was helpful and didnt put you to sleep.

there are other pain releivers that are just as strong. goto you doctors office and see if they can give you samples. I wouldn't trust online. I've heard some are watered down, contaminated and/or not even the real thing. There are some programs to that help you with getting medication if you don't have insurance and can't afford it. talk to your doctor and/or social worker for more info.

Finding another Dr. is the only way I can think of. Some Dr.'s are really leery though, husband's Dr. has "WE DO NOT PRESCRIBE OXYCOTIN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES" posted all over. Sad, since it helps people. \n\nPlease don't be one of the reasons people who REALLY NEED pain meds can't get them...
