Opiate addiction has plagued my life too bro. That dog of yours is all you need anyways, it’s beautiful! Good luck brother hope it all works out. You’re 1000% making a good choice with the methadone versus rush & roulette. Take care buddy!
@@BIKELIFEAP I feel you bro I been too scared to even start and there’s a methadone clinic literally 1.3 miles from my house that doses for $17 a day. Instead I piss 40 every morning on bs fty just so I’m okay for the next 24 hrs. Financially it would be much cheaper, easier and closer cause I have to drive 30 mins to cop each morning so the clinic being 5 mins away and only $17 is a lot better than the alternative but I’m just scared of methadone cause all the ppl I seen coming off it in jail were in baaaaad shape and I was in bad shape but methadone looked worse and just everything I’ve read about how no matter what you end up dealing with discomfort eventually one way or another so in theory it would make more sense to suffer for a week kicking dope instead of suffering 2-4 weeks kicking methadone but then again I’m sure the goal is to taper down to a small daily dose so if that’s possible maybe the withdrawal is minimal? Idk I’ve only taken methadone about a dozen times and never kicked it and my knowledge about it is limited. But at the end of the day you’re going the better route, the same route I should be doing. It’s cheaper, safer, LEGAL, more addictive perhaps lol, and most importantly able to work on getting life back together or at least more manageable 👍🏼.
Same unfortunately.....I am currently tapering off and I've been TRYING to for about 2.5 years. It's crazy how easily they will let u increase your dose but fyi: the rule is u have to see the Dr. to start decreasing. In my case, they have stopped my decrease for so many random reasons( the hurricane, issues with the computer etc...) I was up to 190 for a little while but I'm finally down to 60. I haven't gone daily since June of 2021. I go 1x a month and RN I am going down 10 a month. That changes after next month...(gets slower ) Anyway I ended up at a methadone clinic bc I was sent by my docs to pain management in 2001 for a back injury then diagnosed w fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis and DDD. Spent 14 years going to the same doc. I was OVER having to juggle taking all kinds of pills all day, and my back injury happened when I was 6mths pregnant so I needed and wanted to try and put up w this pain without opiates so It was suggested to me that I go to a clinic. In my opinion methadone probably adds to my pain. It wreaks Havoc on your body and especially teeth sorry it was a novel but I really feel for this guy, and I totally get his situation and how easy it could be to go from living one way to another especially in this day and age when the cost of living is so insane! I really hope that he's able to get into his housing soon! ♡✌🏼
That's very insightful, thank you. I think it's interesting Doctor's can just recommend you a dose and you have to stick with it. Also, I hope they disclosed the teeth thing on day one. I'm sure he also appreciates the support from reading these comments. He's a cool guy, I wish him the best.
@@joannaazar7396 Thank you for that- I know the halflife is SUPER long compared to most other extended release meds. I really appreciate u telling me bc you've been thru it. I'm starting to really feel the restless legs but got something for it. I'm OVER methadone but I wonder how my pain is going to be tolerated. I gotta keep busy so I don't focus on any wd feelings . It's been tooo long! Thx again have a good weekend!😊✌🏼
Yea me 2, we all would probably be dead from fetty without It. It def. saved me and brought me out of the gutter. About 6 months in, I took some Adult classes, got a good job and now I have a house. I got 2 dogs, I am still working on some things personally but life is good
I hope he gets off the drugs very soon. I can relate with this guy. I had a spinal cord injury back in 2011. I spent years getting surgeries on my spine, which meant years of being on opiates to manage the pain. My last surgery was in 2015. I did not get off the opiates until 2019. I was convinced that I would always need them to manage pain or I wouldn't be able to function. I was scared at the thought of getting off of them and how awful the pain would be. Fortunately I realized the opiates were holding me back at that point. They were an obstacle just like the injury was. I am clean and sober now. I have a feeling this guy will be ok without pain meds too. There are other was to manage pain. Safe effective ways. I pray he gets the help he needs. I can tell you he is no happy or content living like he is. That cycle of drug abuse is no joke. It's hell!!!
I relate totally. I have been clean for 8 months, and I have been on Methadone for 10 years. I want to no longer be dependent on it. I was very close to having to live in a tent in the woods last winter. If it wasn't for my ex allowing me to stay with him at the last minute, idk where I'd be. It's a shame when family won't even help bc of things that happened 20 years ago, or bc ur gay. Gotta stop living in the past. I'm HIV positive and there is a program that is supposed to help me with housing through UPMC but the caseworker refuses to put me on a caseload. It's discrimination against me personally.
@@loveislove4879sounds like u have relapsed a few times, 8 months clean is not long at all, u still need tobe on something. U gotta be clean for a few years atleast before thinking about getting off methadone. U gotta goto counseling, group and go see psychologist to get to the root of the problem. All avenues that r available free. There are routes u can take to be a good member to society, like certain jobs u can start working, get on ur feet and everything else will fall into place
he's not getting high. there's nothing else for severe chronic pain except perhaps medical fentanyl patches, but those wear off. (you get accustomed to them and you need to up the dose, then you're subject to fentanuy withdrawal).... you're right he should have housing though.
Meth withdrawal is so dark. I kicked it and benzo’s cold turkey. I’m pretty sure I almost died one night. I went on a guided tour of hell for real. So crazy and scary. That morning I was still sick and stated that way for a few months but something very dark had left my body. I never went back. I hope dude can get it together. It’s a rough road but it’s worth it.
I can't imagine what it's like to feel sick for months at a time, that's wild. Benzo withdrawals are insane. I can see what you mean by something dark leaving your body. Glad you pulled through brother.
Benzo withdrawl is a nightmare. I know this as well. Four years off the clonazepam but need 2 mg twice a day of diazepam , quetapine and amitriptaline at night to quit the withdrawl. Four years later and I think I will need these meds the rest of my life. Thank God I have health coverage. I feel this guys pain. God bless you.
I've been off of Xanax for a year and 5 months 20 days 2 hours 55 minutes and it was Hell, inside of hell tucked at the bottom of hell under hell inside of Hell. We made it, now let's just knock down the other demons that are in our life and remember that if we got through Xanax technically anything else is scientifically and spiritually and physically easier you got this guy's
Dear Heavenly Father I just lift this man and his family up and pray Holyspirit convicts him and the hearts of those who can get him in recovery are touched and can help him Heavenly Father I was lifted out of fenty addiction so I pray the same process that happened with me falls on this man I break any assignments of the enemy on his life and I pray he is set free from his bondage and can see his lil girl in Jesus mighty name amen 🙏🏾
I'm currently going to the clinic. It definitely has been rough going every day, I have no car at the moment. But it has saved me for the past 5 years. I'm not sure where I would be today.
My sobriety date is September 4th 2014 n Thank God I got out when I did. 9 years addicted too opioids n almost 5 years of heroine addiction. Good Luck Man. I’ve had 6 back surgeries n been fused 3 times, Jaw broke in 3 places with 3 plates in my face. I take aspirin n deal with it.
You’re a testimony that it is possible to live a life off opioids even with back surgeries and fused disks. That’s usually the argument I hear people use for their drug use. “I got in an accident and had back surgery and got some screws in my leg” etc
It will be ok my friend ! Hold on for her ! Stick with the methadone it's the gold standard for opioid addiction it may be the case you need the medication for the West of your life in the case you should consider the possibility that working may pose a challenge is there no disablement payment you can receive in America. She is absolutely gorgeous dude ! Truly beautiful animal indeed.
Is he still in palm beach county? I live off that same road that he is pan handling at. I also struggled with addiction for 15 years and was homeless I will help out with food,dog food, clothes, food & drinks,& a monthly bus pass if he needs it. It’s VERY VERY VERY HARD to get clean and stay clean in the same town and spots you use to get high in. So please reach out if this man needs any kind of help. I can also help with a job too. Thanks for taking the time to read this. - BLESSINGS!!
God I hope they find a place to go. My hubby and I were homeless last year and we were sleeping on the Wisconsin River sandbars and that sucks and being disabled sux al the time.
When I was 12-13 I’d snort methadone and adderall occasionally, I’m glad I didn’t ever get addicted. Life is crazy, one minute you’re a kid having fun the next you’re an adult waking up
@@rawnarrative as sad as it is I started smoking cigarettes and weed at 11. I used to sell it for adults with my friends too. I like many had a crazy childhood but I was blessed to get out at around 14 years old. Most everyone else from that era of my life are on drugs or are in prison. That’s small town America for ya though
Yeah, I don't miss being on Methadone one single bit. Tapered from 120mg to 0mg while living in Miami Beach and immediately took off on my motorcycle and rode across the country. Felt like a new man.
@@rawnarrative I literally used to work for Supportive Housing and it was so frustrating to try to get housing help for ppl who were homeless in that industry because they didn’t have a care in a world about what was happening to the individual who was homeless. Like the shelters suck, most of them have redic curfews that make no sense for adults who are seeking work and many of them are dangerous and ppl are prone to having their stuff stolen. I wish there was A REAL EFFORT from non-profit organizations and the government to keep ppl housed and not just throwing them onto the streets and then throwing them into jail bc they’re on the streets 😡 it gets me so angry
@@rawnarrative I was able to house one person but it took almost 8 months and they were homeless on the streets for most of that time. The shelter that they tried to commute to was hours away and costly to get there and to the place where they received help for getting a housing grant from the government. This person had a mental disability, they couldn’t just go and find work so easily on top of everything else they were going through.
@@lillianrojas109 Unfortunately its very few with empathy and those who have always had that safety net when they made mistakes they are so outta touch 1 track minded and its usually those type who have money and homelessness has never effected their families who work in that field which ill never understand why get a job like that when you give zero fks about other people and those that hire them are even worst.If only it was more people like yourself that was in that field of work but its not and its only a matter of time before things boil over so bad it won't be no putting the lid back on and life as people know it will be a thing of the past.People need to realize that this government and all levels of the system are filled with evil people and not enough good ones.They need to get read of every single part of the government from city level to state.But Unfortunately its way more idiots out here than people with common sense that have the courage to come together to force change. So Unfortunately this whole country will be filled with more homeless people than those who have a houses watch and see and because everything is so high and jobs don't pay what it should things will only get worst and its only a matter of time before America is the new Africa the new 3 world country.I strongly believe this because its not enough people in power that care to change policies and they will never remove those evil fks who been destroying things from every level of politicians
4:51 - Homelessness tends to, iornically, bring the humanity out of some. Breaks my heart to see the USA ravaged by these man-made drugs and yet the government's attention is elsewhere. I hope to god that crap stays out of my country!
@@jessicaburkhart1179 I was told deep pits of depression play a part in the mess. He did clean it up the day after the interview and sent me a video. Hopefully he kept it clean 🧼
@@shanefsr6609 Unfortunately true. Yet it's not the normal brain funtion, it's literally an imbalance that causes the anti-social behaviours and traits. That's why the juxstaposition between the brain when under the influence and sobriety.
Feels like I'll never get clean from methadone I've been on for 12 years after 20 years on n off herion,oxy but my life is in such a better place being on methadone I'm scared to come off it one day at a time keep strong brother life will get better you got heart.
I’m on methadone been in it 15 yrs I’m still an addict always will be and if I get off the mdone I would be dead in a week !! Started when I was 11 yrs old I’m 50 yrs old now i will Be on maintenance drug test of my live long sober life “sober from the dope pain pills and needle”
You wouldn't die if you came off it cold turkey. Not if you stayed somewhat hydrated and were able to eat a tiny bit. You would just be so miserable that you would feel like you were going to, and you might want to. I knew someone that cold turkeyed methadone in prison after taking a huge dose every day for 35 years plus, closer to 40 actually. Dave was in his mid 60's, and is now clean after prison. They also did heroin their whole life before that. There are plenty of amazing stories. Opiate withdrawal won't kill you if you can stay hydrated and get some food down. The body can take so much more than most people know. Your best bet would be to ween down, that would be easiest. If you like being on it and it's causing no issues than staying on it is absolutely fine. I know people who are on methadone and it causes no negative issues for them. I just wanted to mention that you definitely wouldn't die if you came off cold turkey.
Could recognize hints of WNY in his accent. I grew up in Buffalo, and Batavia is quite close, it’s more WNY than Upstate. Wish him all the best. At least he should have no trouble surviving outside in Florida since he grew up dealing with the WNY weather / snow !
it's very hard to get rid of trash when you're homeless and on foot. think about it, would you take a five mile walk to dispose of trash when you're broke, have chronic pain, etc. of course you could bag it and bring it somewhere that's not your camp (but not a proper dumpster or whatever, because htat's considered " theft of service" and is a crime)) so your camp is not trashed. It's also difficult to have it look neat...because you dont have shelves, cabinets, etc...just the ground. If someone ripped all the walls of your house and made all the furniture disappear but left all the stuff, your house would look messy too. That's the situation you have when you have a long term camp with a fair amount of possessions.
If his methadone dose only lasts 10 to 12 hours then he’s still using heroin. Once you’ve stabilised on methadone, it will keep you going a full 24 hours until your next dose,m you never have to go into withdrawals.
maybe not for severe chronic pain. the dose may be insufficent after 12 hours to reduce severe chronic pain., which is what he uses it for, though it may be sufficient to defray withdrawal symptoms for 24 hrs from fentanyl or heroin.
I have been in mat For 8 years. I weigh 240 and am in 120 mgs a day. Mine lasts me till i take my next dose 24-48 hours later. I get a month take home. I never feel any type of wothdrawal
Ypur taking way to much that's why last that long without withdrawl but let me tell you go about 3 day without it and you gonna have worst wothdrawls of your life and you will have them for almost year and you still want feel hundred percent subutex and methadone help people but that way harder to get off
@@Blackdynasty123 Tapering is the way to go. Some kids I went to high school with tapered off slowly without much of an issue and stayed off for good. If he came straight off he would be so sick and miserable, that's a guarantee.
he's not dependent on methadone. he needs it for pain management. unless that's what you mean. although he technically is dependent in the sense that he needs it to function, when most people read that they will think "addicted" , which he is not....he absolutely requires it for pain relief so he can function. Nice video, I learned some stuff
I PrAy you are not being sarcastic…I have been on Methadone for 10 years by my Doctor, because my spine surgeries All failed, and I had 2 choices, Fentnyl patches or methadone. Without it I cannot get through my physical therapy, walk, or move my neck. Not to mention my mental health issues. There is no chasing or running from, I make the best of each day…I Pray nobody has to go through this, all over a drunk driver that didn’t even get a scratch.
@@cindym.9029hey I have a few questions is suboxone worse than methadone or is it possible to use methadone at small doses? Also is it possible to drive while on methadone?
@@cindym.9029if this is you from the video bro your a ADDICT you like getting high it’s not the pain I’ve seen people get sober off methadone your saying you need it for pain 😂 get tf outta here.
I am 8 yrs into recovery of opiates. Maintenance medical intervention isn't the worst one can do. However it is a trade for dirty meds for a controlled substitute. Don't give up give yourself a break with understanding it is hard addiction to get away from. I am clean it started with suboxone Maintenance with lots of recovery work. You can break free even on medications.
He should come to Akron Ohio, im a 12 yr vet i got my va voucher in 3 months and im in a place. Akron has a homeless veterans building, you get immediate help.
Great documentary, bro. Its just sad to see homeless people keep the area SO DIRTY, then when the city comes, kick them out.... to us veiwers its sad, no humanity but in reality, they did it to themselves...
have you ever tried to dispose of your household trash on foot when there is no legal place to dispose it?, or there may not even be any trash container for 2 or more miles? For months on end? also, consider that camps in general look messy because--unlike a house there are no cabinets, so shelves, no storage rooms. Just the ground. My point is that everything you see in the scene is not trash, although some of it certainly is.
The problem is these people dont truly want help, they want no responsibility and to be able to do drugs in peace. He is applying for "everything he can", meaning looking for as many hand outs as he can so he can continue to ride this train.
God bless you bro im in the same boat as you with the methadone and im just a few months older than you too, with the difference being my methadone handcuffs are tied onto me here across the sea in Ireland, methadone and heroin etc... welcome's all people and does not discriminate i wish this man well in Jesus Christ's name Amen.
That’s amazing for you to want to help. I pay very well for these interviews since it usually spans a couple days and I follow them around a bit. That being said I’d love to start a fund but I have that planned for further on in the channel’s growth. :)
@@rawnarrative Ok great I wasn't sure how it worked it's good you help them then just amazing of you to care and it so interesting to watch these stories what a beautiful heart and soul you have thanks for responding 🙏
I was on methadone for 15 years and had the same excuses about pain like this guy. I quit cold turkey 7 years ago and have lbeen living my best life. Stop using your fake pain as an excuse to make people feel sorry for for you. Take accountability now and change your life.
I feel so bad for some of these people who’ve not made it in society, it’s a tough world, I only just manage to keep my head above the water. Gotta say tho the dude could tidy up His camp, especially when he’s got visitors! Wish him the best tho still
This guy is a good dude. His dog is adorable. I wish for him to be able to be with his daughter one day. That PIG that flipped him off is another example of horrible human beings.
It’s sad hopefully you get into a house soon people should be lifting you up not putting you down that’s how the sick world is today evil I have two huskies Beautiful husky
Hey bro, I have be in the clinic for close to a year now. It saved my life and helps with the pain. I worked myself up to 3 weeks of take home bottles and that make thing a lot easier. Hang in there and do you best. Try cleaning up around your tent man. Take pride in yourself and your your home. I had back problems until o gave up the crap and stopped feeling sorry for myself. You were a soldier, take pride in that at least. Pretty much, stop feeling sorry for yourself. Peace.
When we do have a chance to speak, please remind me about this particular person. I have a way I could help him seriously. I just work so much these days at my job that I am burnt out most of the time, but I do have a natural remedy for this man that can change his life tremendously in a positive way. Once again I would like to remind you this is very important for him and his well-being. Just mention the man with the husky, I will then instantly know who you are referring to. Thank you for your time. Edit: Instead of "him" I used the word them because I was subconsciously was thinking about him and his dog and I accidentally grouped them together as "them" in my original comment. Thank you for your understanding.
As a dope fiend for 22 years and serving prison time for drug related issuez, staying sober is really hard sometimes. I just lost both my parents. I relapsed but then I thought, I tried to honor them in life. I should honor them in death. I took better care of my cats than myself sometimes. Love the dog here❤❤❤❤ In prison I started exercising and using their gym. Now I'm way more addicted to weights and amateur bodybuilding not dope. I wish this young man the very best ❤ and hope he gets the help he needs and gets back his life.
Exercise is an awesome substitute. It does wonders for the mind and body. Try to keep that up with a decent diet. I love exercising. I lift a lot of weights myself, I go very heavy, and have built extreme amounts of muscle, but I also do it as my meditation for my mind, it's good for that. Sorry about your parents, sounds horrible. I can't imagine losing mine either, i'm terrified of that day. I have to actually stop thinking about it and live my life without the worry. Glad you're off the drugs and are happier in life man, keep it up. You're doing great.
Ive been hooked on methadone for ten years or more it sucks but it is what it is i cant seem to shake it i tried and felt so empty for over three months i was sick and depressed so ikeep taking it owell its not that bad is what i tell myself
I understand the problems he has worh work its not just a one thing fix all there are multiple barriers he has to overcome daily to get a job. Id stay on the gear in fhe tent too.
Why is there so much garbage all around the area where this guy is camping? I realize he has an addiction but still, hopefully someone will donate to him a box of construction clean up bags
Also I'm retired on s.s. and it's not golden years like they promise after working 6 7 a week and losing touch with your kids, feel like I wasted time to retire scared each month
There are scammers out there that go to separate locations to panhandle $, they have a vehicle and they travel to scam people out of $, I’m not saying he does, but they do exist!
Hahahah narcolepsy???? Nodding off cos he's still using 9n top of methadone. There's nothing in methadone to block heroin from working. I've seen people use methadone as water to mix with their heroin for a shot. He's a junkie and a liar. I highly doubt he was every I the armed forces either, can tell by the way he talks and carries himself
U think in pain now- there’s a hella mad deal,with the 😈 devils💦 water 🎉 can take months 1-3months come off -sum dosing used till next fix,, only seen few fully 🦵 sum swap to meth - h & then back again 🙄 stay focused on ya sobriety & taper dosing sum how 🍀 🧠 💪🏾
If your dose is only lasting 10-12 hours, your dose needs to probably increase. I don't like when people take methadone and still get high bc it gives it such a bad reputation. When taking correctly, it can save lives. Best of luck!
Aw him holding the doggies ears when the loud siren went by 🥹 that was sweet of him.
I thought so too 🐶

Same unfortunately.....I am currently tapering off and I've been TRYING to for about 2.5 years. It's crazy how easily they will let u increase your dose but fyi: the rule is u have to see the Dr. to start decreasing. In my case, they have stopped my decrease for so many random reasons( the hurricane, issues with the computer etc...) I was up to 190 for a little while but I'm finally down to 60. I haven't gone daily since June of 2021. I go 1x a month and RN I am going down 10 a month. That changes after next month...(gets slower ) Anyway I ended up at a methadone clinic bc I was sent by my docs to pain management in 2001 for a back injury then diagnosed w fibromyalgia, osteoarthritis and DDD. Spent 14 years going to the same doc. I was OVER having to juggle taking all kinds of pills all day, and my back injury happened when I was 6mths pregnant so I needed and wanted to try and put up w this pain without opiates so It was suggested to me that I go to a clinic. In my opinion methadone probably adds to my pain. It wreaks Havoc on your body and especially teeth sorry it was a novel but I really feel for this guy, and I totally get his situation and how easy it could be to go from living one way to another especially in this day and age when the cost of living is so insane! I really hope that he's able to get into his housing soon! ♡✌🏼
That's very insightful, thank you. I think it's interesting Doctor's can just recommend you a dose and you have to stick with it. Also, I hope they disclosed the teeth thing on day one. I'm sure he also appreciates the support from reading these comments. He's a cool guy, I wish him the best.
@@lizberry5717 The slower the better, the dose has to catch up to your body when getting off
@@joannaazar7396 Thank you for that- I know the halflife is SUPER long compared to most other extended release meds. I really appreciate u telling me bc you've been thru it. I'm starting to really feel the restless legs but got something for it. I'm OVER methadone but I wonder how my pain is going to be tolerated. I gotta keep busy so I don't focus on any wd feelings . It's been tooo long! Thx again have a good weekend!😊✌🏼
KEEP IT UP loving this series man you do great work 👍 👏
I'm editing next Monday's video now and have at least 15 hours of work left. Your comment just gave a boost of motivation! haha
@rawnarrative Of course anytime always liked your channel very informative 👍
God bless this guy... I've been so close to being homeless a few times in my life. I sincerely hope his situation changes for the better soon!
I just saw your gap in video output. Glad you came back. Please keep elevating these voices and thank you.
Had to take a few years to get my life in order. Thank you for watching.
@@rawnarrative I know what thats like.
Methadone has saved me for 5 years and is actively saving me now still.
Good to hear it's working for you.
Congratulations!
same here from bcn
Yea me 2, we all would probably be dead from fetty without It. It def. saved me and brought me out of the gutter. About 6 months in, I took some Adult classes, got a good job and now I have a house. I got 2 dogs, I am still working on some things personally but life is good
when you try to get off Methadone then u understand you have 2 things to carry now
I hope he gets off the drugs very soon. I can relate with this guy. I had a spinal cord injury back in 2011. I spent years getting surgeries on my spine, which meant years of being on opiates to manage the pain. My last surgery was in 2015. I did not get off the opiates until 2019. I was convinced that I would always need them to manage pain or I wouldn't be able to function. I was scared at the thought of getting off of them and how awful the pain would be. Fortunately I realized the opiates were holding me back at that point. They were an obstacle just like the injury was. I am clean and sober now. I have a feeling this guy will be ok without pain meds too. There are other was to manage pain. Safe effective ways. I pray he gets the help he needs. I can tell you he is no happy or content living like he is. That cycle of drug abuse is no joke. It's hell!!!
You are a statistic showing that it is possible. Thank you for sharing that. God bless.
I got myself off of it slowly each month until I was done, so glad I did it
I’m glad you did also
This is discusting. Our country, the usa is despicable. Noone should live like this and not have any help. He clearly doesnt want to get high.
Tough situation for sure.
I relate totally. I have been clean for 8 months, and I have been on Methadone for 10 years. I want to no longer be dependent on it. I was very close to having to live in a tent in the woods last winter. If it wasn't for my ex allowing me to stay with him at the last minute, idk where I'd be. It's a shame when family won't even help bc of things that happened 20 years ago, or bc ur gay. Gotta stop living in the past. I'm HIV positive and there is a program that is supposed to help me with housing through UPMC but the caseworker refuses to put me on a caseload. It's discrimination against me personally.
@@loveislove4879sounds like you personally have no input, it's ALL somebody else
@@loveislove4879sounds like u have relapsed a few times, 8 months clean is not long at all, u still need tobe on something. U gotta be clean for a few years atleast before thinking about getting off methadone. U gotta goto counseling, group and go see psychologist to get to the root of the problem. All avenues that r available free. There are routes u can take to be a good member to society, like certain jobs u can start working, get on ur feet and everything else will fall into place
he's not getting high. there's nothing else for severe chronic pain except perhaps medical fentanyl patches, but those wear off. (you get accustomed to them and you need to up the dose, then you're subject to fentanuy withdrawal).... you're right he should have housing though.
Meth withdrawal is so dark. I kicked it and benzo’s cold turkey. I’m pretty sure I almost died one night. I went on a guided tour of hell for real. So crazy and scary. That morning I was still sick and stated that way for a few months but something very dark had left my body. I never went back. I hope dude can get it together. It’s a rough road but it’s worth it.
I can't imagine what it's like to feel sick for months at a time, that's wild. Benzo withdrawals are insane. I can see what you mean by something dark leaving your body. Glad you pulled through brother.
Benzo withdrawl is a nightmare. I know this as well. Four years off the clonazepam but need 2 mg twice a day of diazepam , quetapine and amitriptaline at night to quit the withdrawl. Four years later and I think I will need these meds the rest of my life. Thank God I have health coverage. I feel this guys pain. God bless you.
Me too bro felt bad for a year
Hey dude done similar he’ll ticket after an amputation .through acc never went near the needle .
I've been off of Xanax for a year and 5 months 20 days 2 hours 55 minutes and it was Hell, inside of hell tucked at the bottom of hell under hell inside of Hell. We made it, now let's just knock down the other demons that are in our life and remember that if we got through Xanax technically anything else is scientifically and spiritually and physically easier you got this guy's
Dear Heavenly Father I just lift this man and his family up and pray Holyspirit convicts him and the hearts of those who can get him in recovery are touched and can help him Heavenly Father I was lifted out of fenty addiction so I pray the same process that happened with me falls on this man I break any assignments of the enemy on his life and I pray he is set free from his bondage and can see his lil girl in Jesus mighty name amen 🙏🏾
Amen 🙏
Thank you for that!
Ive been homeless i had a heroin problem for years im on methadone now and been sober 2 years ill be praying for you brother
Praying for this man to be delivered from his addiction.
I was homeless for 4 years and it took me 4 years for section 8 to house me and I'm a blind single mother
Wow. I assume you were very high priority and it still took that long... Glad you finally got situated and fought through it all!
Yeah, you're white.
Some people are just happy to live like this
exactly,
I'm currently going to the clinic. It definitely has been rough going every day, I have no car at the moment. But it has saved me for the past 5 years. I'm not sure where I would be today.
It's a great tool to stay safer while dealing with addiction. I'm glad it has worked for you.
My sobriety date is September 4th 2014 n Thank God I got out when I did.
9 years addicted too opioids n almost 5 years of heroine addiction.
Good Luck Man.
I’ve had 6 back surgeries n been fused 3 times, Jaw broke in 3 places with 3 plates in my face.
I take aspirin n deal with it.
You’re a testimony that it is possible to live a life off opioids even with back surgeries and fused disks. That’s usually the argument I hear people use for their drug use. “I got in an accident and had back surgery and got some screws in my leg” etc
It will be ok my friend !
Hold on for her !
Stick with the methadone it's the gold standard for opioid addiction it may be the case you need the medication for the West of your life in the case you should consider the possibility that working may pose a challenge is there no disablement payment you can receive in America.
She is absolutely gorgeous dude !
Truly beautiful animal indeed.
God bless u man ❤
Love to see this POV!
Good bless him and his animal.
Beautiful beautiful dog.❤😊
It makes me happy when people buy food for the doggo
lol 😂
Really pray for this dude man seems like a real one hope he can gets some housing for himself and the dog and get back to his daughter
Thanks for the prayers brother
Is he still in palm beach county? I live off that same road that he is pan handling at. I also struggled with addiction for 15 years and was homeless I will help out with food,dog food, clothes, food & drinks,& a monthly bus pass if he needs it. It’s VERY VERY VERY HARD to get clean and stay clean in the same town and spots you use to get high in. So please reach out if this man needs any kind of help. I can also help with a job too. Thanks for taking the time to read this. - BLESSINGS!!
That’s awesome brother. He’s still in Palm Beach, his number is 561-800-1701. Text him if he doesn’t answer. I live in downtown West Palm Beach.
@@rawnarrative ok cool I will text him I live in lake worth so not to far. I’ll shoot him a text thanks.
he aint interested,
Great channel, great deep videos, Love them!! I'm hooked on your channel, very interesting...
Glad you like them!
God I hope they find a place to go. My hubby and I were homeless last year and we were sleeping on the Wisconsin River sandbars and that sucks and being disabled sux al the time.
Good to hear you two are off the streets. God Bless.
When I was 12-13 I’d snort methadone and adderall occasionally, I’m glad I didn’t ever get addicted. Life is crazy, one minute you’re a kid having fun the next you’re an adult waking up
I'm glad for you also. It sounds like you skipped the weed phase lol
@@rawnarrative as sad as it is I started smoking cigarettes and weed at 11. I used to sell it for adults with my friends too. I like many had a crazy childhood but I was blessed to get out at around 14 years old. Most everyone else from that era of my life are on drugs or are in prison. That’s small town America for ya though
Keep your head up. Lean on your dog. He needs you and you need them.
Yeah, I don't miss being on Methadone one single bit. Tapered from 120mg to 0mg while living in Miami Beach and immediately took off on my motorcycle and rode across the country. Felt like a new man.
I really wish the government would do its job and just take care of people
Yeah, homelessness is complex and requires attention from multiple angles.
@@rawnarrative I literally used to work for Supportive Housing and it was so frustrating to try to get housing help for ppl who were homeless in that industry because they didn’t have a care in a world about what was happening to the individual who was homeless. Like the shelters suck, most of them have redic curfews that make no sense for adults who are seeking work and many of them are dangerous and ppl are prone to having their stuff stolen. I wish there was A REAL EFFORT from non-profit organizations and the government to keep ppl housed and not just throwing them onto the streets and then throwing them into jail bc they’re on the streets 😡 it gets me so angry
@@rawnarrative I was able to house one person but it took almost 8 months and they were homeless on the streets for most of that time. The shelter that they tried to commute to was hours away and costly to get there and to the place where they received help for getting a housing grant from the government. This person had a mental disability, they couldn’t just go and find work so easily on top of everything else they were going through.
@@lillianrojas109 Unfortunately its very few with empathy and those who have always had that safety net when they made mistakes they are so outta touch 1 track minded and its usually those type who have money and homelessness has never effected their families who work in that field which ill never understand why get a job like that when you give zero fks about other people and those that hire them are even worst.If only it was more people like yourself that was in that field of work but its not and its only a matter of time before things boil over so bad it won't be no putting the lid back on and life as people know it will be a thing of the past.People need to realize that this government and all levels of the system are filled with evil people and not enough good ones.They need to get read of every single part of the government from city level to state.But Unfortunately its way more idiots out here than people with common sense that have the courage to come together to force change. So Unfortunately this whole country will be filled with more homeless people than those who have a houses watch and see and because everything is so high and jobs don't pay what it should things will only get worst and its only a matter of time before America is the new Africa the new 3 world country.I strongly believe this because its not enough people in power that care to change policies and they will never remove those evil fks who been destroying things from every level of politicians
Our government hates Americans.
4:51 - Homelessness tends to, iornically, bring the humanity out of some. Breaks my heart to see the USA ravaged by these man-made drugs and yet the government's attention is elsewhere. I hope to god that crap stays out of my country!
Definitely, it's crazy the grip these substances can get on people. They tear families apart. That affects me the most about these situations.
Why be so nasty ..Clean up your area...poor dog could step on a needle. ..if u can't keep the trash up..how u gona keep your apartment
@@jessicaburkhart1179 I was told deep pits of depression play a part in the mess. He did clean it up the day after the interview and sent me a video. Hopefully he kept it clean 🧼
and the deceptive mind of an addict will exploit such a plight for its own selfish desires,
@@shanefsr6609 Unfortunately true. Yet it's not the normal brain funtion, it's literally an imbalance that causes the anti-social behaviours and traits.
That's why the juxstaposition between the brain when under the influence and sobriety.
Wish the best for him hope they get him a place good human being
He's a good dude :)
Haha the music when he was getting that money and the ca ching noise was funny
lol
Methadone is a lifesaver
Literally is 🙌
Bro said he has narcolepsy but that’s just him nodding from the methadone
That beautiful huskies lying in all that trash,heartbreaking😢
I’d really like to talk to Brandon. Our stories are very similar. I want to wish him all the best! Stay strong brother!
👍🏻💯
Glad you can resonate with him! He's a cool dude.
Feels like I'll never get clean from methadone I've been on for 12 years after 20 years on n off herion,oxy but my life is in such a better place being on methadone I'm scared to come off it one day at a time keep strong brother life will get better you got heart.
That’s right, one day at a time. I know it’s not easy to get off but it’s good you are not taking your chances buying stuff on the streets.
I’m on methadone been in it 15 yrs I’m still an addict always will be and if I get off the mdone I would be dead in a week !! Started when I was 11 yrs old I’m 50 yrs old now i will Be on maintenance drug test of my live long sober life “sober from the dope pain pills and needle”
Wow what a ride... Keep it up and thanks for sharing your experience!
Do u think this guy isn't using on top of methadone?
You wouldn't die if you came off it cold turkey. Not if you stayed somewhat hydrated and were able to eat a tiny bit. You would just be so miserable that you would feel like you were going to, and you might want to. I knew someone that cold turkeyed methadone in prison after taking a huge dose every day for 35 years plus, closer to 40 actually. Dave was in his mid 60's, and is now clean after prison. They also did heroin their whole life before that. There are plenty of amazing stories. Opiate withdrawal won't kill you if you can stay hydrated and get some food down. The body can take so much more than most people know. Your best bet would be to ween down, that would be easiest. If you like being on it and it's causing no issues than staying on it is absolutely fine. I know people who are on methadone and it causes no negative issues for them. I just wanted to mention that you definitely wouldn't die if you came off cold turkey.
30 years on methadone and i feel good
Could recognize hints of WNY in his accent. I grew up in Buffalo, and Batavia is quite close, it’s more WNY than Upstate.
Wish him all the best. At least he should have no trouble surviving outside in Florida since he grew up dealing with the WNY weather / snow !
He’s not a horrible human being at all. That said to see him living amongst rubbish is probably a reflection of where his head is at
Most definitely.
it's very hard to get rid of trash when you're homeless and on foot. think about it, would you take a five mile walk to dispose of trash when you're broke, have chronic pain, etc. of course you could bag it and bring it somewhere that's not your camp (but not a proper dumpster or whatever, because htat's considered " theft of service" and is a crime)) so your camp is not trashed. It's also difficult to have it look neat...because you dont have shelves, cabinets, etc...just the ground. If someone ripped all the walls of your house and made all the furniture disappear but left all the stuff, your house would look messy too. That's the situation you have when you have a long term camp with a fair amount of possessions.
If his methadone dose only lasts 10 to 12 hours then he’s still using heroin. Once you’ve stabilised on methadone, it will keep you going a full 24 hours until your next dose,m you never have to go into withdrawals.
maybe not for severe chronic pain. the dose may be insufficent after 12 hours to reduce severe chronic pain., which is what he uses it for, though it may be sufficient to defray withdrawal symptoms for 24 hrs from fentanyl or heroin.
I have been in mat For 8 years. I weigh 240 and am in 120 mgs a day. Mine lasts me till i take my next dose 24-48 hours later. I get a month take home. I never feel any type of wothdrawal
Thanks for sharing, it's important to highlight the different journeys people have with MAT. I'm glad your treatment is working well for you.
Ypur taking way to much that's why last that long without withdrawl but let me tell you go about 3 day without it and you gonna have worst wothdrawls of your life and you will have them for almost year and you still want feel hundred percent subutex and methadone help people but that way harder to get off
@@Blackdynasty123 Tapering is the way to go. Some kids I went to high school with tapered off slowly without much of an issue and stayed off for good. If he came straight off he would be so sick and miserable, that's a guarantee.
I've kicked methadone three times, the actual withdrawal doesn't start till day three or four, then it's super intense. Like next level intense.
Poor dog probably feels so good on that cool air conditioning bus ❤
Very true :)
he's not dependent on methadone. he needs it for pain management. unless that's what you mean. although he technically is dependent in the sense that he needs it to function, when most people read that they will think "addicted" , which he is not....he absolutely requires it for pain relief so he can function. Nice video, I learned some stuff
You’re not chasing the sickness you’re running from it. You’re chasing the cure.
I PrAy you are not being sarcastic…I have been on Methadone for 10 years by my Doctor, because my spine surgeries All failed, and I had 2 choices, Fentnyl patches or methadone. Without it I cannot get through my physical therapy, walk, or move my neck. Not to mention my mental health issues. There is no chasing or running from, I make the best of each day…I Pray nobody has to go through this, all over a drunk driver that didn’t even get a scratch.
@@cindym.9029hey I have a few questions is suboxone worse than methadone or is it possible to use methadone at small doses? Also is it possible to drive while on methadone?
@@cindym.9029also last but not least can you take benzos on methadone?
@@cindym.9029 kinda similar story from spain ! power !
@@cindym.9029if this is you from the video bro your a ADDICT you like getting high it’s not the pain I’ve seen people get sober off methadone your saying you need it for pain 😂 get tf outta here.
I am 8 yrs into recovery of opiates.
Maintenance medical intervention isn't the worst one can do.
However it is a trade for dirty meds for a controlled substitute.
Don't give up give yourself a break with understanding it is hard addiction to get away from.
I am clean it started with suboxone Maintenance with lots of recovery work.
You can break free even on medications.
Thank you 🙏
Hello Batavia from Buffalo, Best wishes!!
The fantastic idea of chain n ball .
That's a good visual representation on the matter.
He should come to Akron Ohio, im a 12 yr vet i got my va voucher in 3 months and im in a place. Akron has a homeless veterans building, you get immediate help.
That's fast, I'll let him know.
Great documentary, bro. Its just sad to see homeless people keep the area SO DIRTY, then when the city comes, kick them out.... to us veiwers its sad, no humanity but in reality, they did it to themselves...
Thank you brother, you are not wrong…
have you ever tried to dispose of your household trash on foot when there is no legal place to dispose it?, or there may not even be any trash container for 2 or more miles? For months on end? also, consider that camps in general look messy because--unlike a house there are no cabinets, so shelves, no storage rooms. Just the ground. My point is that everything you see in the scene is not trash, although some of it certainly is.
Ive been on methadone for three years and i definitely gained a tolerance to it so thays false but it does work alot better then the alternative.
I hate being chained to methadone 220MG going to start tapering soon
Light work for you. LMK about it when you successfully kick it.
The problem is these people dont truly want help, they want no responsibility and to be able to do drugs in peace. He is applying for "everything he can", meaning looking for as many hand outs as he can so he can continue to ride this train.
Riding what train? He is off street drugs. He is on methadone doesn't get people high like dope. Methadone doesn't work like that
God bless you bro im in the same boat as you with the methadone and im just a few months older than you too, with the difference being my methadone handcuffs are tied onto me here across the sea in Ireland, methadone and heroin etc... welcome's all people and does not discriminate i wish this man well in Jesus Christ's name Amen.
Very well put. Best of luck to you my Irish friend.
nice video man keep going
thanks I plan on it 💪
Bless this man and i love that dog❤️❤️🙏 cant you set up a go fund for him jw
That’s amazing for you to want to help. I pay very well for these interviews since it usually spans a couple days and I follow them around a bit. That being said I’d love to start a fund but I have that planned for further on in the channel’s growth. :)
@@rawnarrative Ok great I wasn't sure how it worked it's good you help them then just amazing of you to care and it so interesting to watch these stories what a beautiful heart and soul you have thanks for responding 🙏
I was on methadone for 15 years and had the same excuses about pain like this guy. I quit cold turkey 7 years ago and have lbeen living my best life. Stop using your fake pain as an excuse to make people feel sorry for for you. Take accountability now and change your life.

I feel so bad for some of these people who’ve not made it in society, it’s a tough world, I only just manage to keep my head above the water. Gotta say tho the dude could tidy up
His camp, especially when he’s got visitors! Wish him the best tho still
Me too. I love making this kind of content.

Poor Sweet Dog. This boy needs some help.
Beautiful dog 😍
This guy is a good dude. His dog is adorable. I wish for him to be able to be with his daughter one day. That PIG that flipped him off is another example of horrible human beings.
I was on methadone for pain and I had to get off of it. Bad stuff
Slippery slope for sure
It’s sad hopefully you get into a house soon people should be lifting you up not putting you down that’s how the sick world is today evil I have two huskies Beautiful husky
Hey bro, I have be in the clinic for close to a year now. It saved my life and helps with the pain. I worked myself up to 3 weeks of take home bottles and that make thing a lot easier. Hang in there and do you best. Try cleaning up around your tent man. Take pride in yourself and your your home. I had back problems until o gave up the crap and stopped feeling sorry for myself. You were a soldier, take pride in that at least. Pretty much, stop feeling sorry for yourself. Peace.
Great advice. Thanks and peace to you as well.
When we do have a chance to speak, please remind me about this particular person. I have a way I could help him seriously. I just work so much these days at my job that I am burnt out most of the time, but I do have a natural remedy for this man that can change his life tremendously in a positive way. Once again I would like to remind you this is very important for him and his well-being. Just mention the man with the husky, I will then instantly know who you are referring to. Thank you for your time.
Edit: Instead of "him" I used the word them because I was subconsciously was thinking about him and his dog and I accidentally grouped them together as "them" in my original comment. Thank you for your understanding.
Hold on Brandon. You will rise... you will see!
So when was his service?
Halo
I remember him saying he went over because of the second battle of Fallujah in 2004.
Why would that cop flip him off.
I was wondering the same thing.
Probably because he’s acting like he was in the military.
As a dope fiend for 22 years and serving prison time for drug related issuez, staying sober is really hard sometimes. I just lost both my parents. I relapsed but then I thought, I tried to honor them in life. I should honor them in death. I took better care of my cats than myself sometimes. Love the dog here❤❤❤❤
In prison I started exercising and using their gym. Now I'm way more addicted to weights and amateur bodybuilding not dope.
I wish this young man the very best ❤ and hope he gets the help he needs and gets back his life.
Exercise is an awesome substitute. It does wonders for the mind and body. Try to keep that up with a decent diet. I love exercising. I lift a lot of weights myself, I go very heavy, and have built extreme amounts of muscle, but I also do it as my meditation for my mind, it's good for that. Sorry about your parents, sounds horrible. I can't imagine losing mine either, i'm terrified of that day. I have to actually stop thinking about it and live my life without the worry. Glad you're off the drugs and are happier in life man, keep it up. You're doing great.
Keep hitting those weights man. Honoring them by staying clean is great. It's what they would have wanted for you.
Definitely helps the mind operate more clearly. I need to get back in the gym, I let myself get skinny again.
Ive been hooked on methadone for ten years or more it sucks but it is what it is i cant seem to shake it i tried and felt so empty for over three months i was sick and depressed so ikeep taking it owell its not that bad is what i tell myself
I understand the problems he has worh work its not just a one thing fix all there are multiple barriers he has to overcome daily to get a job.
Id stay on the gear in fhe tent too.
Hoy shit the methadone clinic on congress in lakeworth😂lol.. 3 yrs off that shit...
lol that's the one! Glad you tapered off brother.
I feel sorry for the dog. He deserves better.
Beats being locked up in the pound 🤷🏻♂️
lol
The husky looks well cared for especially with it's fur at least and they love being outside they were made for the cold and pulling things
Why is there so much garbage all around the area where this guy is camping? I realize he has an addiction but still, hopefully someone will donate to him a box of construction clean up bags
Also I'm retired on s.s. and it's not golden years like they promise after working 6 7 a week and losing touch with your kids, feel like I wasted time to retire scared each month
That's true, I can't imagine being homeless in the snow!
There are scammers out there that go to separate locations to panhandle $, they have a vehicle and they travel to scam people out of $, I’m not saying he does, but they do exist!
I'd love to find one of those people and interview them! Find me one por favor.
This dude is perfectly able bodied, not in pain.
He did mention his narcolepsy issue and I saw him fall asleep a few times while recording. I hope he gets off the pain meds soon.
Hahahah narcolepsy???? Nodding off cos he's still using 9n top of methadone. There's nothing in methadone to block heroin from working. I've seen people use methadone as water to mix with their heroin for a shot. He's a junkie and a liar. I highly doubt he was every I the armed forces either, can tell by the way he talks and carries himself
You ABSOLUTELY gain a tolerance to methadone!!!! Haha I can't believe he just lied to you like that Lol
You are full of crap I have been on methadone 16 yrs at the same dose and function just fine why don’t you do some research or shut the hell up
I almost died from constipation on methadone
Damn that would have been a shitty way to go out !
Why am I working and paying taxes? My back hurts, my head hurts, my wallet is empty. America is bullshit.
U think in pain now- there’s a hella mad deal,with the 😈 devils💦 water 🎉 can take months 1-3months come off -sum dosing used till next fix,, only seen few fully 🦵 sum swap to meth - h & then back again 🙄 stay focused on ya sobriety & taper dosing sum how 🍀 🧠 💪🏾
If your dose is only lasting 10-12 hours, your dose needs to probably increase. I don't like when people take methadone and still get high bc it gives it such a bad reputation. When taking correctly, it can save lives. Best of luck!
He said a bigger dose makes him fall asleep everywhere because he already has narcolepsy. He only wants enough to not make him sick.
Can he please pick up that trash?? It’s just awful and disrespectful to the planet.
After filming this he sent me a video of this area all picked up. He mentioned after the interview it motivated him to make some changes in his life.
You can gradually lower the dose to get off methadone don't let all these people fool you
Methadone eats your bones, teeth, and muscles.
I'm good on that chief.
