Our friend has chronic pain associated with an assault to the head with a tire tool, that resulted in a fractured skull, crushed sinus and a broken jaw. He has had one surgery but will require more. Because he is at the mercy of his home state’s budget, he may not get the surgery. Now the high-powered pain-killers he’s on are the only thing that get him through. He’s taken so many that there’s no way he could stop now, and the pain which is very real is still an issue. So…how do we get him the pain management he needs and get him off the Oxycodone? Is methadone maintenance a solution? Would he qualify for a state program? What kinds of non-narcotic pain management programs are out there that could he try? This is not a joke. We love this person and want what’s best for him. No insurance, no trust fund. Any ideas?
Yusuf… it’s oxycontin.
Juvinjbj…a little touchy, aren’t you? I am looking for alternative pain management..I said that. I want to treat the pain. What I don’t want is a $300.00 a week, run to Mexico habit to ruin his life. Back off.

Kasey asked:

I am about to start a Methadone Maintenance program tomorrow, and i am really scared. i have had a problem with oxy’s for years. I have tried suboxone treatment, and it didn’t work for me. I didn’t feel like myself. I felt like i was a shell of me, i couldn’t talk to people.. i felt anxious and sick, and besides all of that… i absolutely DESPISED the taste.
Anyway, the methadone program has given me a new hope. Hope that i can actually quit in a way that is comfortable and ultimately as painless as possible.
I was just scared that on the first day they wouldn’t give me enough to take away my pain. You see, i take anywhere from 41/2 to 8 80s a day. That is 360-640mgs. I think that is a lot. a LOT. and it is HARD for me to just do 360mgs. Soo…. i was reading that the normal prescribed dosage of meth is between 30-80 mgs… and that they slowly work your way up.
This has made me freak out, and think that i can’t do this. My withdrawels from oxy are far too great to handle, and if i even feel them a LITTLE bit then i won’t and can’t do this.
Anyway so when they tell me what dosage they will give me on the first day, i want to know if it will be enough or not. Mainly because if it isnt, i am screwed. I JUST found out that meth is an opiod BLOCKER. Sooooo if they prescribe me too low of a dose than i will be in withdrawal all day without the option to even take a suboxone ( cuz it will cancel it), let ALONE take a teensy bit more oxy to supliment the low dosage.
i also know that they dosage they want to give you, they can’t (legally) give you right away. You have to be “worked up to” it. .
Anyway… does anyone have any suggestions or advice? I don’t need any lectures or any of that sh*t… obviously this isn’t the time or place for that. Thank you so much.

I’m just curious. I want to know what the patients need methadone (or whatever they use) for.

I just read somewhere that it only takes one injection of buprenorphine and that’s enough to last for 6 weeks. The article also stated that buprenorphine is an appealing alternative to methadone. My sister is about to undergo drug treatment, and I just wanted to know if there are any drug treatment programs in Auburn Hills that make use of this drug.

I dated a guy for over 2 1/2 years whom had been battling addiction to drugs. We were in a long-distance relationship, so I was not aware of how seriously he was involved & the extent of his using. As far as I knew, he was receiving psychiatric treatment & counselling and participating in a methadone program. Apparently he had an entire “secret” life I knew nothing about. I can only imagine the things he might have been involved in.

i have been recieving chronic pain managment through a methadone program. i recently came on hard times and am unable to work for at least another 4 weeks. i really cant afford paying the daily fee. i am thinking that mabey i can make it on only going every other day instead of every day. especially if i went in late one day then early the second day. then vice versa. that would put it at around 30 something hours apart

My bf was addicted to oxys.He has been on MM or 18 months. He is doing excellent. He has not used since being confronted and beginning treatment. He complies with all aspects of his recovery program.I understand, the whole, when he is ready line. I just want some opinions of when you think enough is enough, and he should let go of this security blanket?

drug abuse addiction

mattabyst asked:

I am a drug addict and recently went onto the methadone program. My dose is 95mg a day. It seems when I took methadone in pill form off the street it was way stronger and worked a lot better. I was only taking anywhere from 40mg a day to 80mg a day tops. The pills also seemed to last 24 hours but the liquid that I get now isn’t as nearly effective and does not last as long. So I want to know if there is a difference in the liquid methadone and the pill form methadone.

Thanks in advance!

My son has been on a state fun (CA) methadone program for 16 years; his teeth have fallen out, he is extremely undernourished; how can this be allowed and called a “PROGRAM”?
