Hello everybody! And whatupdoe to my fellow Michiganders/Detroiters 
Today was my first experience with MMT. I got in the clinic at 7am this morning (with not being able to eat anything first), and began my 6 hour stint getting set up for treatment (not being able to eat anything the entire time, needless to say I was pissed, lol). So after filling out an hour and a half worth of paperwork, filling out 2 hours of questionnaires and all that good stuff, I had to drop some piss.
Note: I am a severe addict and would use a gargantuan amount of opiates everyday if I was able.
Back on track: My results come back, and I only tested positive for THC. Not a shocker since I haven't had opiates in a week due to my current conditions, which is good.
However, I didn't know that it is almost ALWAYS a requirement for them to only accept people which drop dirty for more than just THC. After all that waiting, and paying $170, they were trying to tell me that I wasn't going to be accepted and be able to dose today. I explained myself and told them how much of a true addict I am, which is ironic because I've never really had to beg someone to believe I am a junkie, I usually would tell people I'm clean.
So finally after another hour or so, they tell me that I was BARELY accepted.
It just really bothered me that I HAVE a serious opiate addiction, and they weren't going to give me treatment just because I wasn't straight fiending out in withdrawals.
Setting the bullshit aside, I finally got my dose and it has proved to work great thus far. I know it's only my first dose, but still lol, it really helped. I plan on working my way up to my "therapeutic blocking dose", and get stabilized, seek counsel, and engage in fully turning my life right-side-up.
Has anyone ever been denied Suboxone or Methadone treatment based on the same factors that I mentioned? I think it was complete nonsense that they were about to do that to me, but whatever. I feel great about life now and feel like it's actually worth living!
