Where can i find a private doctor for methadone treatment?

Answer 1

There are very few private methadone clinics. Most are publicly funded and have long waiting lists because they are only allowed to take so many patients at once. There are a couple of other things you can do. One, talk to your family doctor. Regular docs can write prescriptions for methadone, and he can help you with a taper. Two, find an addictionologist. They are MD's that deal strictly with addiction. They can also help you with a methadone taper or methadone maintenance. You could also look for a doctor that can prescribe Suboxone. It's a medication used for detoxing as well. You can also try an inpatient rehab. Thay will safely and comfortably taper you off of the drugs. You could also try an ultra-rapid detox, though they are expensive. In ultra rapid detox, you are sedated for 24-48 hours while they give you a drug called Naltrexone that is an opiate antagonist. You're asleep during the withdrawals and you wake up clean. They also put a naltrexone pellet under your skin so that if you try to take narcotics, they have no effect.

No matter what route you choose, counselling is essential. No one wakes up and decides to be an addict... something led you to that point. Every addict has an underlying issue that causes them to want to escape reality. You'll never be able to stay clean unless you figure out what led you to drugs in the first place. I wish you luck, and if you need to talk to someone, feel free to e-mail me.

Answer 2

other help - Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches).
Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.

Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain.

The cure - start with a professional massage, you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away. The place where the skull connects to the spine press up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).

For more information read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. It teaches what to do and where the pain comes from.
