My Cousin Is a Drug Addict and Is on Methadone Treatments?
Question by Siraco&Sophie: My cousin is a drug addict and is on methadone treatments?
My cousin is a major drug addict and is trying to get off of heroine so they are giving her methadone treatments. My family was just told that my cousins money is running out now to still recieve her methadone injections and that if she doesnt get the money to still take her methadone treatments then she is going to die. I know nothing about drugs or understand any of it so if my cousin can not get the money to pay for her injections will she really die and why will this cause her too die? My mother is the one who told me this and dont know alot of information on all of this or why they say she could die from this so if someone knows any information on any of this please let me know. Im really worried about my cousin now so could this really be true? Could she really die?

What Is Better? Subxone or Methadone?
Question by stevies.beloved: What is better? Subxone or Methadone?
I am having problems finding a good medication for my addiction to dilaudid. Can anyone out there help me?
Best answer:
Answer by Christy SD Nurse
Doctors vary in their reasoning as to what is best. In my experience as a nurse at a treatment facility is that Subxone is the way to go. However it needs to be taken correctly, twice a day, and with a tapering schedule over about 7-10 days..no cheating…it is hard to do this on your own. You are still going to be miserable and have intense cravings. Your body must be clear of opiates before beginning the treatment or you will get very sick.
Work Drug Screen Question?
Question by Cherish: Work Drug Screen Question?
I have a interveiw comming up for a job I really want. It says that a background check and a Drug Screen is required. I have to take Precsription pain meds for health reasons. Usually is Hydrocodone and when it is really bad Percocet. I was wondering if they look for this on pre-employment drug screens or not? If they do or it shows up if I have written permission-reasoning from my doctor can they or would they refuse employment to me? I would hope not but I wanted to ask. Thank you in advance.:)

If they screen for opiates, then they would show up and it all will tell them is you have opiates in your system. If you have a legitimate reason for taking these and a doctor’s prescription, I cannot see any reason why they would not hire you, unless they don’t want someone who is taking pain medication working for them. Good luck.
