So it kind've annoys me that the clinic takes forever to provide people with take-homes (particularly mine, they seem to be an extra bitch about it). So, I was thinking.....Wouldn't it be possible to take a water bottle (one of those ones with like a tip that opens and closes) take the methadone (or at least put it in your mouth) then pretend like your using the water bottle to wash it down....but actually spit some into the bottle and actually only take about half. Instant take home! =D (however this would only work if you can manage at less than the dose they give you, so you'd have to start doing it probably when you were first starting the clinic....) Then you always have some on hand, and if you do start to feel crappy the next day or something.....just take your whole dose next time you go to the clinic....
Has anybody ever tried this before? Does this sound like a feasible idea? What do you guys think?
 
I dont know if were allowed to tell you how to secretely take home methadone from your clinic.

Ive never been on MMT but ive been told that when you are given your dose they watch you take it and then they make you take another drink of water to make sure it is all down your throat. Also, you take the concentrated liquid methadone at the clinics right? Atleast thats how it is where I live.
 
Of course I'm not referring to me, it's hypothetical :-)
SWIM could pretend to swallow (and not actually swallow). And then follow with a "swish" from SWIM's water bottle....and at SWIMs they don't usually watch him, just hand him the stuff and wait for him to drink while they do paperwork or something...
 
I dont think were supposed to use "SWIM" either. Not tryin to be rude, just trying to prevent you from getting a warning or infraction. Its actually in BL's rules.
 
Ugh...I read it and didn't see anything against it, guess i'll read it again....well can you guys at least tell me how to delete a damn post? lol.
 
Yeah, this is a really good way to get kicked out of a methadone program. You think your the first person to pull that?
 
I wouldn't even bother.. you'll end up getting caught and kicked out of the program.

Not a good idea, bro. Just follow the rules and eventually you'll get 'take-homes'.
If you aren't getting enough methadone to hold you over, you need to talk to someone at the clinic about it. Good luck.
