farm-gal asked:

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.
Mandy VZ: You need help, girl.

I’ve always heard about methadone, but recently I’ve been hearing about buprenorphine as well. I was just wondering if there are any side effects, and if this is better than using methadone.

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.

mw106 asked:

Does anyone know which is safer, suboxone or methadone for detoxing from heroin, while 6 months pregnant? I am addicted to heroin, have been for a couple of years. I found out 2 months ago that I was 4months pregnant. I have tried to stop on my own, but cannot go through the withdraws from the heroin. So I have kept using. I have cut back a considerable amount. I’m only using enough to keep me from getting sick. I know someone that takes Suboxone, and can take them. I’m scared to tell the dr. that I have been using. I’m scared that she will call Child Protective services or something. I’m not really scared about them taking the child that I am pregnant with, b/c I think that I’m giving it up for adoption, but I’m scared they will try to take my 2 year old away. She was planned, and is loved very much and taken very good care of. I was thinking about trying to get into a methadone clinic, but I’m not sure how that works being pregnant, if anyone can answer any of my questions, please let me know something. Thank you.

kel5204 asked:

When a patient leaves rehab and enters outpatient, do you put them on Methadone as a precautionary measure to prevent relapse, or do you put them on it after they have relapsed and/or failed a drug test?

Also how long does it take for the results of the drug test to come back? And do patients get them on site or in the mail?
