Okay short story: mom on drugs, mom goes on methadone..mom has baby..baby is going through withdrawls and ends up in NICU on morphine..they took baby off morphine yesterday to see how she does..and now today they put her on methadone, and want to send her home 2morrow? Why would hospitals let a baby go home on methadone with already known drug abusers?? anything else about methadone babies ect info welcome..
If mom is on methadone, she will be closely monitored by the agency that gave it to her. My friends daughter was on methadone with her last and she got to go home with her because methadone is not an illegal drug. The mom has to go to get her methadone and is drug tested constantly. Baby is also monitored closely once they are in the home by CPS, not taken away unless they have reason (ie evidence of illegal drug use, abuse or neglect of baby, etc). She was even allowed to breastfeed (for a month until she had to go back on her lithium).

My fiance is addicted to pain pills. We have talked about getting her some help from a methadone clinic. I have researched methadone, and from what I am seeing, some people use methadone for pain relief, and some people have even gotten addicted to it. How is this helping a person who is trying to get off pain pills, if their taking something that they could also get addicted to?
My father was put on methodone in an effort to "wean" him off of oxycontin. He got off the oxcyontin but became horribly addicted to the methodone. The next step was to wean him off of the methodone. The substitute they gave him for pain relief did not work, withdrawl from the methodone made him severly depressed. He committed suicide. Please don't let her take methodone.
I know someone who is using regular weed but has somehow managed to convice his doctor for a prescription for a "Take Away 20mg Dose" of Methadone.
I understand from fellow tenants that Methadone is a drug more addictive than hard drugs. Should he be having this stuff? Should I tell the Mental Health Service? What do you think?
Methadone is generally prescribed for two reasons; pain or to ease withdrawl from opiates (specifically, heroin).
Most likely, he souldn't be taking this. More importantly, the doctor shouldn't be prescribing it. Methadone is more difficult to kick than heroin (according to former addicts in the methadone program). I have seen people on methadone, it aint pretty.
If you think your friend is lying to his doctor to get drugs, tell someone. Methadone is NOT to played with.
Methadone is just as dangerous, just as addictive and is MUCH harder to get off of (withdrawal is much worse). I've experienced this first hand. For non IV addicts who remain on methadone for years, why not just let them have their opiate of choice? Is this just politics?
beacue its harm minimalisations swopping an illegal deadly drug with the possibilty of jail, HIV.Hep c for legal use of a slow acting drug that doesnt give u a high.. but there are other options apart from methadone....other narcotics ure prob talking about can be used for getting a buzz from which kinda defeats the purpose.. need to take a long acting flat tough/peak curve type drug
How do can i get methadone outside of a methadone clinic?
I have gone to methadone clinics but cant afford them.Is there an easy or cheap way to get it in any other way?Who could give it to me?Where and when?
well i hope you do find a way but honestly the only other way ive seen em were thru a drug dealer...good luck

Waukegan methadone clinic to close - Chicago Breaking News
State and federal officials recently inspected the Green Dragonfly clinic after the Lake County state's attorney launched an investigation into the death of Steven Vaughn, 30, of Lindenhurst.
Clinic owners announced their decision to close the facility shortly after meeting with Drug Enforcement Administration officials Monday, State's Atty. Michael Waller said.
"The Green Dragonfly did very poorly on the inspections, and they are closing to avoid having their license revoked," said Waller, who added that his office will continue its investigation.
Tom Green, spokesman for the Illinois Department of Human Services, said "there were a number of violations that were found in the inspections" by both state and federal agencies who reviewed Green Dragonfly.
"DHS will assist in transferring clients to other programs and make sure the transfer is done in an orderly manner," he said.
Lake County Coroner Richard Keller a week ago announced his resignation as the clinic's medical director after the Tribune reported the investigation into the circumstances surrounding Vaughn's death.
