First day of Methadone Intake in the morning, SCARED and curious
Hi everyone.. I am honestly hoping that someone would read this and reply. So here goes, I am going to begin Methadone Detox/Treatment tomorrow morning for intake. I was told this is a counseling session, bloodwork, etc. i have no idea what to expect, so if anyone who has been though this before could help me easy my fears I would appreciate it more than you could know. Are they going to begin me on treatment tomorrow? Or am I going to have to wait until who knows and go into withdrawl and stuff...
ok so im on month 3 of meth and have not relapsed once and i have had no desire to take a pill but i have to admit i dont like the feeling at night i am fine all day till about 7 or so i started on 50 of meth and im on 40 now but i will do it good luck to all.

You are overdosing acetaminophen. You are playing Russian roulette every single day.
If you kill your liver, there is no cure, You will die.
I will even say YES! do the methadone rather than those pills!
At least you will be alive to consider other options. But do consider them after yu are stablized on the methadone.

The problem with methadone, even though it does work for a lot of people to get them off the drugs, is that you are then stuck on methadone.
A better answer for some people, IF they qualify, is a Buprenorphine taper program, where if successful a person could be drug free in as little as 21 days, and not have to go through serious withdrawals. many people report mild to none at all.
If methadone is your best option, I agree. it's a lot better than being a junky. But drug free would be even better. Buprenorphine treatment isn't for everyone, and isn't free.
It could be used to get off the methadone later as well. Everyone's situation is different.
