Hey guys!
This is my first post but I have been a long time lurker. My back story is no different than many others here so I won't go into it. I have been using some form of opioid for the last 2 years and with many failed attempts to quit on my own I have decided to check into a week long rehab facility. I'm nervous about going because I will have no contact with the outside world for 7 days.
This maybe a good thing as it will ensure I do not score anything for at least a week. Now my big question is they said they will offer me methadone to help with the withdrawal symptoms. I have never done methadone before and I currently do anywhere between 100 to 200mg of oxycodone/oxycontin or equivalent in hydromorphone.
Would doing methadone for a couple days help or hinder me. They also offer Valium and codeine as needed. You will be monitored 24 hours a day so it is a safe environment. Any advice from someone that has gone this route would be very appreciated.
Mods...if this is posted in the wrong area please move to the proper form.
Be safe everyone
