Not to mention I don't have a license right now and wont for a while so going to a clinic every day to get my medication would be kind of hard. Is there anyway I'd be able to get a 2 week or 1 month script at a time?

hmmm, ud hav to talk to a methadone doctor about this
i dont know how it works in diffrent countries but the funny thing is theyre more lenient with methadone than with suboxone over here!
ive only bn on methadone since april (or maybe march....basically 3-4 months) yet im already allowed to get it at the pharmacy up the rd (and im even allowed takeaways twice a week)
they wud hav let me get my 'done from the pharmacy up the rd from the beginning apparently (well after id had my initial dose so they cud watch and check i wasnt reacting badly to it) - i just preferred to dose at the clinic cos a group of us wud go out to a cafe after wed dosed.....miss those guys!
the main thing is that i still check in evry now and then with my case manager and they fax thru to the pharmacy up the rd wen they want me to hav a doctors visit at the clinic
also if i want to put up my dose i hav to go thru the clinic but that shudnt b a problem for u - most ppl find a stable dose pretty fast, its just cos im coming off the benzos and constantly need to put my dose up
ud b most likely starting out on 20-40mg then slowly finding ur way up, going up 5mg evry 5 days until ur comfortable then u can b transferred from the clinic to watever pharmacy that doles out methadone is closest to u
sadly this does mean that for at least a short while until uve stabilised ud have to dose at a clinic.....however thats only if things work the same way over there as they work here
theres always point in asking a doctor who deals in methadone and explaining ur circumstances
they want to help u, after all, to stay off junk and lead a normal life - the point of methadone (and suboxone, but it doesnt sound like thats working for u....)
hope u can sort something out
