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

I’ve always heard about methadone, but lately, I’ve been hearing about buprenorphine as well. How is this different from methadone?

I understand that because these came from 2 doctors I should be careful but that the effect of the 2 together can be simalar to using heroin which I have never done but I am in crazy pain so I don’t want to OD on thaksgiving so what’s the limit I have 10 mg metadone and I am taking 90mg perday and the clonipin is one or 2 at night

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.

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?
