So yeah, "Hello everyone!",
How have you all been?
All that aside, I today have decided to have my first go at a clinically aided detox.
Basically, I'd been clean ten years (I'm 30 now), and I've just had a small habit now for a year. Smoking on the tin foil and in the last month IV 0.2 to 0.4 grams per day. Not a massive habit I know, but you will feel it anyway lol!
So now I've been trying to kick it by buying some methadone off the street from a friend so it's been fresh stuff and not diluted. I've not had a great deal of success with it to be honest and I've only tried to take it for two days and it's been no good. Your mileage may vary.
Previously I think I may have even posted a thread on here about it, I made my own detox plan using Subutex, which is a miracle drug for drug addicts, but that's a whole new thread isn't it now!. Basically, I took 3 8mg tablets sublingually as one should properly do when taking these tablets. I felt absolutely fine. I took them for another two days, taking 2 8mg tablets on each of those days. I then ceased taking the tablets altogether and no other opiates whatsoever and apart from feeling a little tiny bit ill I was absolutely fine. This only lasted for the rest of the week. The next week I felt a bit lethargic but by the start of the third week I was feelibg just fine again!
So this is what leads me on to the part about the clinic. As I said I've been unsuccessfully trying to quit by buying street meds, both methadone and subbies. Now I know full well that I can quit quite painlessly using the subbies, I just need that little bit extra help with initially keeping off of it for maybe the first month. As you may be wondering as I mentioned above that I used the subs to get clean a little while ago, the cleanliness didn't last long and I strayed back into it. So the clinic will help me cover this part as I am going to go for voluntary piss tests for a month or six weeks maybe. I'm the sort of person that couldn't fail one of those things, I'd feel kinda ashamed by them seeing my failure so that's the main reason I've gone to the clinic this time. As you can see from my username I am a British guy so this post and what is in it may be of use to fellow Brit's. Now I''ll get on to how I got in touch with the service and what they have put me on etc etc.
I am located in Southend, Essex, UK. I looked for a place in town, and there is a programme in a building in town (sorry if I'm vague, don't know the rules on revealing locations etc etc.) so I took a drive over there and I must say they are VERY quick and efficient. I went from assessment to walking out the door with a script within 3 hours. First I had the assessment where they talked through some stuff with me and what my plans are and what they think would be best for me. I was a little bit pissed off there as they wanted to try and put me on a methadone programme to get off the gear but thats far too lengthy for me. And I think its outdate now we have them Subbies, but that's just my opinion after all. So I explained to her that I didn't want that and told her about my above success with the subbies previously. So she then sentme in to speak to the Dr about all of this but in more detail. The doctor had earlier that month given someone else a 7 day detox plan with the Subutex, so he agreed with me that with my same situation of wanting a quick detox, he gave me the same prescription with the same plan as the previous addicted dude. He asked me first about the time when I self medicated with Subutex and seemed quite shocked when I told him that I took 3 8mg tablets (24 mg). He said that it was too much. Anyway, here is what he has planned for me, in days, numbered appropriately:
1: 4mg
2: 8mg
3: 8mg
4: 6mh
5: 4mg
6: 2mg
7: 0.8mg
So, with a prescription written out according to the above plan I have been sent off from the clinic and left to my own devices, with an appointment to go back midway through the week for a piss test to make sure I'm being a good boy. I'm pretty confident that I will succeed because of the extra element of being watched over and wanting to get away from them quickly for which I have a couple of reasons. One of these is that I have signed up and been prescribed in a fake name. So fellow Brits, it is possible to do this with a fake name. And also without providing the details of your GP (Doctor). However, they said this was only possible because I was only getting the one prescription from them and that the treatment length was short. They did say that if I required more help from them I would need to sign up for a GP (I told them I didn't have one). Mainly I didn't want to give my real name for the sake of my kids, I really don't need the hassle of social services as the stress from that would be enough to increase my habit rather than kick it!!! And also I don't like the government knowing EVERYTHING about me if I can get away with it. I refuse to give them, or I provide fake details at every available opportunity!
So guys, I know that was a long old post to read, but if you've made it this far I would be interested to know your opinions on the contents of the post and also your thoughts on the doctors detox plan, as he obviously thought this up and it is identical to the other patient that he prescribed it to by weight and measure, so there we have it.
Thank you for reading, and I look forward to any replies that may come and thak you in advance for taking the time to write them!
