How is methadone helpful?
I have noticed where I take my bus, there is a methadone clinic. I guess it's for ex heroine addicts. however, they still have the same effects, look drowsy, nod off, slow and slurred speech.

I feel pretty good, other than a little sore sometimes. I want to know how long till I can expect the withdraw pain to kick in. Or is it over exaggerated for methadone, and the withdraw is really nothing to serious. Thanks

My body is addicted to methadone, can anyone help me with this?
The Methadone is given to me by pain management dr's, and I have since had my last visit because I tried smoking canibus as another form of pain relief and was dismissed as a result. Please no chastising, I know what I did wrong, my question is, I have 1 bottle left 120qty , I'm used to taking 10mg x4 a day, I went through detoxing a few years ago and it took 6 months to get out of my system or to feel normal again, but it almost killed me and was the worst hell anyone could imagine, I know now at 43, there's NO way I could make it out of detoxing solo and live through it, I just know I would not be able to do it, I would have to leave my work for months, does ANYONE know of a decent way to get this stuff out of my life, I'm having trouble seeing another PM dr because when the records are transferred, it clearly shows I breached the contract and they always turn me away? Please, if anyone knows of the best way to do this, I would virtually owe them my life.....anybody please?

Has anyone used these home drug tests? How accurate are they? Testing for Methadone..?
I got a First Check 12 panel drug test.. I am testing for Methadone. It is Wednesday today, the last time I took Methadone was Monday. I have a drug test for Pretrial today. I have until 4pm to report. I have given 2 dirtys in a row for Percocet. I took the methadone because it helps me get off the perks, and i have been doing okay.. I havn't had any withdrawals at all. If I give another dirty I will get locked up. I didn't think I would have to report until Friday so now I'm a little worried. The kit says methadone takes 1 3 days to get out of your system, but I've heard 3 6 days.. so I don't know. So How accurate are these tests? And How long does it take for Methadone to get out of you??
