My girlfriend has been on methadone for about 2-3 months for chronic pain. At max, she was taking 60-80mgs a day. Everything I read on the internet regarding withdrawal symptoms is regarding people who have been on 200mgs a day for years. She is obviously in a different criteria. Does anyone have a good resource regarding what to expect, and the best ways to get off of short-term methadone use in relation to withdrawal symptoms it will product?
DO NOT GOTO A METHADONE CLINIC...only about 10% have a legit program that works.Most clinic are just about the money.I will give you 2 options or advice.If she was taking the methadone for pain and it was prescribed,then the doctor should wean her down...if he/she wont,then another doctor will since it was prescribed.However,if you were getting them off the street,a doctor will refer you to a clinic.I have posted a link to a drug forum and a detox forum with people who have experience.My suggestion to you is KRATOM.Kratom is a great herb that has saved my life.Be aware that kratom can be addicting to,so please do your research before attempting kratom use.I will also post a link to kratom info.Its long,but you can scroll right down to its uses and pharmacology section.Its being considered as a methadone replacement.Methadone is BAD,BAD and by the way 60 to 80mgs of methadone a day aint a cake walk to come off from.It may seem small compared to the other doses...but it definately aint fun coming off 40mgs a day.That was extremely hard for me.Enough to NEVER do methadone again.OH and I was only on it for about 28days...but in fairness I was using methadone to come off hydrocodone SO i already had a dependant to hydrocodone...but coming off hydrocodone was a cake walk in the past compared to methadone.But me being stupid,listened to an aquaintance the recommended methadone to fight my withdrawal symptom...I thought.WHY NOT?Bad choice on my part.I pray that she comes off ok one way or another.All I can say is kratom worked for me.Good luck
Oh and BALI strain of kratom is best for opiate withdrawals
Addiction to methadone can be viewed as a disease that attacks the central nervous system, and common symptoms include gastrointestinal distress ...
I am a single mom who's only income is $80 a week child support. The methadone program in my state is $91 a week. I need to be on the program in order to be able to work and function, but I cannot work for the first 30 to 90 days because I have to go to the clinic everyday until I earn the right to bring medication home. The closest clinic is an 80 mile round trip. There is no way I could make it to a job on time with those clinic hours. I understand there are night time jobs, but I don't want to do that to my 2 yr old. She has an excellent schedule that works very well for her. I don't want to interrupt that now. A schedule is just too important for her. Any ideas on how to get help paying for the program?
Hmmm. Surely there must be a way to get this type of treatment for free... I wonder why any government program would make someone pay if the price exceeded their income. Have you seen a case worker or social worker at your local mental health office? I think that may be a good place to start. I know that a friend of mine here in Texas doesn't pay because she is a student and has no income. I wish you luck and I wish I had a better answer. What state do you live in? Maybe I could dig up some info.

right here's an invaluable link for you.
I'm writing a paper for school and I'm trying to say that Buphenorphine is better then Methadone for opiate treatment. Do any of you by chance know of any Credible websites that would agree with my theory? Basically I need to find a site that states that Methadone is bad for people to use... thank you
I can answer this personally. My DR. put me on it for chronic pain ; along with percosets, xanax, soma, all this together. I took myself off of the stuff. Methadone will kill you,. I know several people who have died from it. Go to ask .com Good Luck!

Police 'find methadone' in Jackson's home
Police reportedly found 20 types of drugs in Michael Jackson's Los Angeles mansion, including the heroin substitute methadone.
Methadone was reportedly found in Michael Jackson's home.
The heroin substitute and 19 other types of drugs, including potentially lethal painkillers and anaesthetics, were recovered from the pop legend's Los Angeles mansion by police investigating his death last Thursday (25.06.09).
A source said: "The Jackson mansion was more like a drug store than someone's home."
Other drugs found included Fentanyl, a powerful painkiller given to terminal cancer patients and Oxycontin, another painkiller dubbed 'Hillbilly Heroin'.
Some of the medications had Michael's name on the label but many were labelled with other names, while some didn't have any labels.
It is thought Michael used different aliases to obtain his prescriptions including the names of his bodyguards and a doctor's manager.
