Please if anyone can give me some advice as to who to reach out to quit meth.

I've been using now for three years averaging if money was no object 17 points in two days and I use a needle.
My dependency started at around 41 is of age when I first went looking for a bit of recreational speed for the weekend as life is boring and there was no such thing any more it was something from my past something from 20 years ago at that time I could even contemplate using mess missing like a disgusting American problem. And then as my neck injuries grew worse which started five years prior, the doctor when I'm to prescribe me stronger painkillers and of course incrementally I ended up on OxyContin where as I was on a good and steady goes until my father was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and that blue that out of the water right before detox I was taking eight 80 mg per day IV. (I'm female and at that time wait 58 kg) I was ready to detox I needed it my father had died and I needed my addiction to go with it and I cannot really well possibly because I was put on Suboxone but that didn't help my pain ands I was changed onto methadone. In January this year I had surgery but a most fantastic surgeon in Australia and my neck pain has all gone but do not even need to take Panadol today I can't believe that I was given a miracle. That today nearly mid July, I am struggling with this mess problem because I don't Wanna stop. I knew that there would be a day when I would have to to, and that day has come. After two years out of the workforce I have finally landed a new Job in a new career. But I know if I stay on this path that won't last long. I'm under the care of a psychiatrist who I have not let know that I use meth, in fact no one knows. I did have a fantastic counsellor at "stepping up" but organisations like that aren't the same any more since AOD changes last August. I don't know who to turn to, I need someone that I could possibly call every other day when I'm struggling. I don't really feel that I need to go into detox because I've been without for days and weeks at some times, and I really haven't felt the same withdrawal symptoms as I had with Oxy's. I need someone's help, and I don't know where to turn, if anyone can help I'll be truly grateful, so would my son.
