How to begin methadone treatment for opiate addiction?
My husband and I are seeking methadone treatment for our addiction to opiate pain killers. We have been taking opiates daily for almost 2 years. My husband and I start at 2 Lortab 10 mg and go from there. We take up to 10 pills per day. Not only do we take Lortabs, but we also get Percocets, Dilaudid, Morphine, Tylenol with Codeine, etc. I started taking such pills 6 years ago as needed after I had been prescribed Lortabs for muscle tension migraines resulting from a car accident. I never took them regularly until 2 years ago. It is very important that my husband and I seek help for our addiction. We began with prescribed pills, then sought them illegally. Not only are we destroying our bodies, but we are spending all of our money on these dumb pills I have the for a local methadone clinic and will call tomorrow to start. We are nervous and I am just wondering how the program works. Any details would help us greatly. Thank you so much... you are helping us get clean

Should I stop my methadone treatment, your advice would be greatly appreciated?
Here is the thing, I am an ex drug addict, I was a pretty bad user, started pills when I was 18 from a chronic pain condition called endometrosis but I have been sober or clean from heroin and pills for 2 years about....I got on methadone treatment about 2 years ago. I am living with my friend who is into natural medicine and is against methadone. I know that methadone causes some stuff like i heard it depletes the calcium in the bones over time, and it's REALLY hard to get off..I know I tried before. But I don't want to be on it for the rest of my life. I am 27 and I'm on 105mg a day.My roommate says I should get off because1. it prevents me from going living anywhere that doesn't have a methadone clinic nearby.2. I have to go almost everyday to the clinic.. I'm on phase 2 which means I can have 3 take outs a week, and I will be getting my phase 3 soon. 3. He's worried about the calcium thing.4. Also he thinks I will die from a liver thing or slow breathing in my sleep.Those are the main things he is worried about,but the things is..I have been on it for about 2 years and I have not had a dirty UA since getting on the methadone. It's has been helping me..Also it really is hard to get off.5. I had an EKG done and my QT levels are off....but my methadone doctor said he sent the results to a cardiologist and he said the heart waves on the paper looked fine...He called my primary and said it was alright...but it still makes me a little worried.I have heard of this treatment called. Ibogain? It supposedly helps people get off opiates, and it addresses the withdrawal that would come with stopping it.I know I don't want to be on it forever but....it's helping me right now....what do you think?Thank you.Wow, thank you J Miller for your answer, you know alot about this subject..as should I. I have been reading up on it...but some of the sites I have been to are vague and say stuff that isn't necessarily true. That's why I wanted other opinions and facts from people who know what they are talking about. Thank you for replying to my question. I really don't feel ready to get off....but my friend has been pressuring me....just cuz he thinks it 's a bad thing to be on it for a long time....but then what does he know...I will let him know what I found out about it. I really am doing better now then I was not on the treatment. Thank you for your input. Hope you have a great day night.

Canadians only please: Is Methadone treatment...?
an approved method of pain management in Canada? I know quite a few people who genuinely suffer from chronic pain and are refused " opioid based" drugs because doctors cannot pinpoint the source of pain with certainty. So I am wondering if people refused conventional painkillers can opt for risky methadone treatments. Thanks.My concern is that chronic pain sufferers may be force to pretend to be opioid addicts to receive treatment but my concern is they may not get the proper methadone dose from a rehab clinic but quite a few years ago I found a place where u could get methadone no questions asked.Reform is really what is needed...there should be no need for people to suffer needlessly. It seems that the primary concern about treating pain is that the safer opioid drugs would be used to supply a dangerous underground market. Maybe the development of a time released powerful pain killer would be the answer...so that once a day a person could go to a clinic for their treatment thereby eliminating the possibility of the painkiller being sold for profit
