Back At Methadone Clinic.......again

Well, I'm back at the clinic again. There have been a few changes since I was there last. They have a zero tolerance policy on benzos now. They've had to save people from thierselves! So many guys were overdosing from mixing methadone with benzos. They won't even take you if you have benzos in your system. They tell you to get off the benzos and come back. I had a hard time for about 2 weeks after I ran out of the prescription methadone I had. I did morphine or I tried to. I'm not even a good junkie anymore. I about killed myself on the suboxxone. I lied to the Doc about how much methadone I had been on. I had a rough time and learned some hard lessons. I plan on learning from these mistakes. I'm tired of making the same ones over and over!
What are benzos?? Never heard of them.

Everyone slips and dont punish yourself for not telling the whole truth. Although they are there to help and it benefits you to tell them the truth...you know you did wrong and as you said...learn from your mistakes.

Hope your ok...Lynds xx
Hi Shirley

Most clinics have A very low tolerance when it comes to benzo,s(the valium ,xanax, family, Bunnypoker)- Some clinics put up with it but only with a letter from your doctor- -I hear some now will only take your script seriously if its from a shrink.
I think its wrong. If you need & were prescribed a drug for your mental health & you take as directly ,m*done clinics shouldn't discriminate
However, many people do find doctors who will write anything as long as they see dollars coming in ,especially from medicaid.

Best of luck/keep in touch

Glad your back at the clinic. The clinic here will detox ya out too if you keep coming up + for benzos and they are not prescribed to ya. Right as i was leaving the clinic they were trying to start testing for WEED so many people were freaking out after 3 + test they take your dose down and detox ya. I was not smkoing weed anyhow many people were. I'm glad the clinics are here. The clinic i was at was less then tolerant with + drug test.
