Finding help in Wisconsin

Does anyone know a Doctor, around the Milwaukee area in Wis, that would help my daughter get off Methadone?  She has been on for 2 years and they don't seem to be bringing her down.  She is on a lot. Anyway, they are getting ready just to kick her off the program because she missed a day or two because of her car braking down.  I am so tired of these legal drug pushers.  I can't stand their almighty attitude.  Anyway, I can't seem to find a Doctor in the Kenosha area that will help her.  She is on Medicade.  I appreciate all and any suggestions.

Thanks, I sure would love to get her into a detox program but I doubt they take medicade.
Take care

The only thing I know to suggest would be switching to Suboxone. She could use the Sub short term (under 21 days) just to get past the withdrawels of the methadone or she could use it long term, but then she would become addicted to the Sub and have to taper off it.
Go to Suboxone.com and read about it and also find a doctor in your area. Check out a few different doctors as the priceing and insurance/medicaid will vary greatly.
Good luck to both of you.
