MethaContin said:i think that they say that as a 'cover their asses' type of thing. When I went in i told them i only went to ONE 3 DAY SETOX ONE TIME, and they put me on MAINTENANCE RIGHT THERE. he asked me do you want a month detox (which usually NEVER works) Or do you want Maintenance and i said Maintenace The doctor said 'good thats the best thing for you" ALSO THEY WANT TO MAKE $$$$ Like any other place, but MY CLINIC is PRIVATLY run......
thats exactly how it is methacontin
but the law says you need two attempts first ,they can get a waiver and put you on maintanence and most of the time they will try to talk you into longterm methadone that is because they make money for each patient
so they lie to you and tell you that tapers dont work
true most of the time a 21 day wont work but that is only because most people dont want to quit they just dont want to be sick
if you really want to quit you can use methadone to taper in less than 21 days
as a matter of fact i have helped 5 people quit hydro habits with methadone and they all were done in two weeks none have gone back to regular use
once you have a methadone habit a short taper will not work its takes forever after you have been on maintenance
