undefined first of all PLZ NO JUDGEMENT I'M AN ADDICT so... going to the clinic in two days. am sick of this rollercoaster and honestly I can't do it anymore. I'm broke. my kids winter coats and gloves and Christmas are more important to me than any god dam pill. what do I expect at my 1st appt.??? thanks guys
Alot of questions, bunches of paperwork and at my clinic to, they made me feel like a human, that made me feel really really nice to be treated that way.
Bella 1982,
Methadone John said it best. They treat you like a human.
And well they should. Being an addict doesn't give medical providers the right to treat you badly. A good accredited clinic should provide you with a counselor that you will meet at least on a monthly basis, maybe more. You will see a doctor who will talk to you and with the help of an intake counselor they will figure out what the best dose is for you. (I know in Calif you must have had at least 2 failed detox attempts before you can begin maintenance.)
I love your thought process of where your priorities are. Take care of you and the rest will follow. Methadone can help you stop your addiction to opiates. If you have questions, ask the clinic staff or come here for truthful answers, not bulls*&t and myths. PLEASE don't listen to the "lobby doctors" at your clinic. They know nothing except to spread lies and falsehoods about methadone.
Good luck and come back and see us!
