You definitely CAN get take home botles other than Sundays. I have been on Methadone Clinic in NJ for 10 years and I am approved for 28 days Take Home Bottles. I also have the choice of getting them in pill form. I used to get the pills but the liquid is much easier to swallow than the big chalky pills.
IN NJ (at least at my clinic) there is no wait time to get on. They accept new patients 2 or 3 times per week. You are eligible to start receiving take home botles after 3 months of "compliance". Compliance means you piss clean, attend group or individual metings once a week and pay on time. They start giving you 2 or 3 take homes a week and after a year or so you can get the maximum of 28 days take home.
I believe the highest dose I went to was 140 mgs but tapered down to 50 mgs very slowly. I tapered 1 mg per week. Believe me, it is much better to be on the lowest dose possible. At 120+ I was getting very lethargic and drowsy during the day. And its not a good feeling like with dope, its a medicinal drowsy feeling if you know what I mean. Plus the constipation is serious at high doses. And lastly, if you are on a very high dose and do decide to use dope, you can forget it. Taking high doses of methadone will totaly eliminate the pleasurable effects of dope.
