Opioids Methadone

[ab1472]

So i'm 22 years old. I used h for a while when I was living in NYC at age 18, but stopped a few months later when I moved back in with my parents. I wasn't able to score anything around here so I just kind of stopped. I still score oxy here and there but my tolerance is basicallly 0 and I'm nowhere near physically addicted.

my life is balancing itself out for the first time ever. Got a job, will have my first car by summer, etc...

My problem is that I think about dope almost every waking hour. I only have one day off a week and for the past three weeks I've been taking a train to the city to try and score, and I've been running into some pretty shady situations trying to do so.

So, I haven't used h in 3-4 years, I have no tolerance, and pretty much all i do opiate-wise is eat percs/roxys ocassionally (once every couple weeks, although if I had a solid connect and enough cash I'd be high all day).

If I told my story honestly at a methadone clinic/treatment center would they help me out, or is methadone treatment reserved for the hardcore addicts that get sick when they're not using?

they wouldnt give you any if youre not physically dependent is my guess

Maybe you could ask for a very low dose, like 5mg. What I think is that you have nothing to loose asking them...

yeah, thanks...I'm assuming they wouldn't give me it seeing as I'm not yet physically addicted, and getting on methadone would cause me to be, but I bet 5 mg wouldn't cause SEVERE withdrawal or anything when I stop...I certainly don't have anything to lose...

2 other questions...is methadone treatment expensive? No insurance at the moment.
and...can you pick up a months supply of methadone at a pharmacy or do you go to the clinic every morning? I work from 6-7am to 5-6pm every day...it'd be tough to work a daily methadone stop into my schedule.

here in the UK methadone or subutex is only prescribed after a posotive for opiates urine sample is produeced, methadone is dirt cheap for pharmacies here more so than subutex

they will not give you methadone if you are not physically addicted.

methodone is used for the treatment of opiate dependence, there fore if your not opiate dependant i think you will find it impossible t get from a doc, because it is a synthetic opiate you WILL become addicted to it even at 5ml daily, believe me you are better off forgetting about meth unless you need it, it is a nasty horrible drug, ok it does a great job and stops wds but to get off it is hard work much harder than h and i speak from personal experience having been an addict for 20 yrs plus so my advice is definately dont get your self a meth habbit you will regret it stick to your other drugs but thats only my opinion, wat ever you decide stay safe and ALL ways ask the question in your head, people here will all ways answer you, peace

If you're not currently physically dependent, then you have A LOT to lose.

The best thing you could do for yourself is talk to a counselor or something who could help you deal with the psychological craving side of things.
