Methadone Treatment USA
How can I get a quantity of methadone?
I have a prescription for methadone to treat my dependence on opiates. I pay $13/day and drive 300 miles/week to get it. I have been clean for 1.5 years and want to spend the rest of my life sober. (While spending approx $500/month on treatment, gas and vehicle repairs, etc.) I cannot afford to get help addressing my underlying psychoses. And I earn too much money to get any kind of social aid. I haven’t found any health insurance that covers methadone maintenance. For me, drug addiction has been a symptom of my greater disease. And I need a break in the cycle to get into a shrink.
Is there any way I can buy a large quantity of methadone? What is the process, price and availability outside of the USA? Is there any reliable distribuitor over the internet? Detox is out of the question until I get my anxiety and depression under control.
Please help me.
I’m not sure you can get it in large quantities, or people would just abuse it. I had a friend on it and she overcame her addiction and was weaned off of methadone. I didn’t realize they let people stay on it for months and years. I thought the reasoning behind getting you on the methadone was to get you off the other stuff, then they get you off the methadone. Perhaps meeting with your Dr or counselor and plotting an amended course of action would be appropriate. Is there an MHMR facility in your area? It would seem that getting your anxiety and depression under control would be a priority as that is what is keeping you from getting off the methadone and opiates. Other than that I’m afraid the only advice I can give is to move closer to your supply.
