Yes, you can do it at home.  That's not the best place of course, but if you don't have the option of inpatiet which would be the safest and the best place to be.

I've been on methadone for a long, long time.  I'm on a maintance though, and have only taken it as prescribed.  I'm working on a taper now,  I've come down from 120milligrams a day to 41milligrams.  I'm comming down 2mill a week and at this point am still fine.

It's a super hard drug to get off of, I tried before.  With the help of my doctors and psycholist and I ened up using.  and I was doing it one of the right ways.  Plus I had an awesome support group from N/A.  I'm not tring to drag you down only being honest.

You'll have the best luck with help of other people that know what there doing.

take care and keep us posted on your progress

HI... listen, I don't recall alot of people posting on this (chat) addiction forum about meth.

if you look at the top of this page, you will see a link for the other Addiction Forum.

click on that and post again over there, ok?  I think you will get more feedback, in case you don't get any here.

i'm sorry i can't help you, i just don't know anything about it...

good luck...
