Methadone Drug Addiction .com

My soon to be x husband is in a Methadon rehab program. I haven't spoke to him in 2 months. I am worried about him and would like to know what he is going through. Is he able to use a phone and can he leave for a weekend. Also how long is this type of program. He had been addicted to pain medicine for 6 years and methadone for about two years.

Obviously he is in an inpatient program, cause they do have meth clinics you go to daily. from what you say, 6 yearsof opiate addiction he was probably admitted into a detox first(hospital floor for addicts closed off to everyone else) depending on the amount of pills he was taking and the dose of meth he was on will depend on how long he stays usually 9-14 days they give you the methadone the highest dose they will give u is 40mg and they take you down 5 at a time until u r clear. they hold u a day w/o any meds and release u the day after usually. if u havent spoke to him in 2 mths they probably talked him in to going straight to a 28 day rehab, which is what they try to do with everyone provided u have insurance! its pretty strict when u first go in cause when you leave detox u r still pretty sick. I guess depending on where he went, the rules would vary, but i never heard of a place that didnt allow u to call your family. Im guessing he doesnt want to talk to u. I wouldnt take it personal, hes probably feeling pretty crappy, it takes a good few months to feel better and sometimes almost a year before u can sleep normally and just feel comfortable in your own skin. The rehab is completely drug free and its alot of groups and AA/NA meetings if he went in volontarally he could leave when he wants. If he was mandated by the courts he could get stuck in a program more like a TC, theraputic community which could be anywhere from 6mths to 2 years. some places allow visits 1a week like sundays. dont worry, he is in the best place he can be. methadone sucks, and it really takes a toll on the body. i swear i think heroin is easier to detox off than that crap. it feels like forever. Im sure you will hear something soon. but keep in mind hes in there to fix himself so sometimes the outside world is too much for someone to deal with, hes got enough problems of his own in there to bring in stuff that will mess w/ his head and throw him off track. i hope this was helpful and didnt put you to sleep.

Transformations Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center in Florida www.transformationstreatment.c om Christian drug treatment available

I just started a new job that dosent offer insurance. im desperatly trying to get of Methadone because its holding me back and i cant afford it. Is there any rehab that will take me in with no insurance and little money up front. I live in Nashville TN but it dosent have to be here.

I'm not too sure about the insurance aspect, but I would recommend that you take a look at this site, http://www.drugabuse.com/drug-abuse-help .html?utm_source=ans&utm_medium=pv&a mp;utm_content=ld&utm_campaign=rcx, and on there you will find a lot of useful and helpful information about drug abuse, and treatment options that are available.

There also is a toll-free helpline number that I think you should call, and a trained professional will be able to answer your questions, and hopefully help you get back on track and moving in the right direction going forward.

Good Luck to you, and Best Wishes

My state used to pay foir my methadone but they changed. I need to find other states where Medicaid pays for methadone treatments. I need to move. I can not pay for this myself much longer.

Medicaid in any state will only pay for a MAXIMUM lifetime number of days in any facility like that. In AR it's 120 LIFETIME. I suffer depression and am also a recovering addict.. I can tell you that medicaid in AR will cover it (in general rehab facilities not necessarily methadone clinics) but it will be limited. TRY TO get off yourself. That can be very dangerous so be careful but the state will NOT pay for you to go thru tx every 30 days for 60 years. GL..if you need to talk write me.
