Right? I’m able to take my methadone anywhere with me and can ask for “Carrie’s” which is an extension on my prescription (more bottles of methadone) and I’ve never got to travel when I was in active addiction I had to make sure I was close to a dealer at all times , if I do travel I’m able to send my script to a pharmacy in whatever town or city I’m travelling to as long as I’m within the country
Exactly. Methadone has given me life back, I go once every two weeks to pick up take homes for two weeks. Methadone n Suboxone are miracle drugs, they’re not handcuffs. A lot of people hate that shot for several reasons and wouldn’t take it of u paid them.
@@K1forMVPmethadone and suboxine are good when used and administered CORRECTLY. I’ve worked in a methadone clinic and wouldn’t recommend it only cause of how much these clinics want to KEEP people on methadone for so long. I’ve had people be clean for 3-7 years and STILL on Methadone which is insane to me. Clinics tell counselors to not encourage people to lower their dose. Methadone isn’t a substance to be taking for multiple years, that shit is horrible for the body and should only be used for shorter term detox. Once it gets to the point where you’re on it for years and years and years, it becomes like handcuffs in a way
You have to understand this isn’t really meant to be a lifelong treatment although some people do that route (whatever wouldn’t recommend) but for full blown opiate addicts this is the only viable realistic least resistance way to taper off of street dope.. some people are semi functioning and dependents and are working and can’t just sit out for a month cold Turkey.. You build your social life up and yourself personally and build connections and network and get yourself into a right spot financially and mentally then you can come off. It’s becoming easier and easier to get takehomes in the US atleast. And it’s better than shooting up fentanyl or snorting pressed 30s everyday and being a slave to that…. Lesser of two evils here.. sometimes problems can’t just vanish and be solved in the blink of an eye.. sometimes life is ugly.
@@generaldernappe What tapering down?? That’s absolutely true, I’ve done it n have known others who’ve done it to. If u slowly taper down over 6-8 months like I did from 95 to eventually zero you won’t have any withdrawals. When I got down to 3mgs I just stopped there and outside of tossing/turning in bed for 2-3 nights dealing with insomnia I had no withdrawal symptoms and started sleeping normally again after a couple days. There’s no comparison between tapering down under doctor supervision and trying to come off cold turkey. I wouldn’t wish the withdrawal feelings you get quitting cold turkey on my worst enemy, and that crap last months after a good 3-4 weeks of acute withdrawal symptoms then you enter a month to six week long episode of post acute symptoms where you’re extremely depressed, can’t sleep at all, no energy etc.
@@K1forMVP How long where u on and did u go down like 1mg a week. Back in 09 I was on 65mg, I went to a dr. to make a plan to get off. He wanted me to to go down 1mg a week till I got down to 30mg and then I had to not dose for 3 days and on the 4th he was gonna start me on subtex for 12days and then nothing from then on. I didn't want to take that long to get off so I just went cold turkey at 65mg. The withdrawals was a MF for like a month but xanax w.d was alot worse!
@@K1forMVP can I ask you how was the transition into methadone? I'm in active fen addiction, but I've tried rehab, been to jail, cold turkey, everything, I can't do it. I'm considering trying methadone and eventually getting winged off. Can you give me your honest opinion
This is so true!! I'm getting off right now. I'm on 10mg now and I only got on because I wanted to get high. I want even addicted to heroin. I was addicted to methadone! Everyone on the clinic calls it liquid handcuffs. 🙄 You cant do shit and once you're one it, you're STUCK!!
Bang on with users still topping up.still help full thoe in small aspects ov life. Wot i mean is that' u can have a preity normal day dont have to shop lift n run around all day in a panic trying to score its a bit ov restbite to the day. I find it helps a lot
It can help break the behavioral cycle of using. It really depends on how far gone you are, your environment, and your desire to live. If you are going to die unless you go into treatment then...go into treatment. I don't want to use illegal drugs ever again. I also terribly fear kicking; withdrawal , p.a.w.'s, and what I am capable of when I am not in treatment. I hate being a prisoner to any medication, but I also am scared of what I become when I am (briefly)sober. What sucks is that there's rapid detoxes that cost 20,000$(USD) for sedatives, observation, IV naltrexone, and 3 days, but that's only available out of pocket. So, there is a way to help the masses of people dying, but the government/insurance companies/ and short lives of the suffering people (that definitely don't have 20,000 to throw into wizeman rapid detox's) won't ever see sobriety, or real addiction medicine reform that works to heal the brain. it's all Because these government funded detox programs, insurance companies, and doctors managing people to come back over and over again lining their pockets off the backs of the mentally ill, addicts. it is so extremely profitable to everyone except the addict that it hasn't seen reform in 50-100 years. May the blood of the innocent be on the hands of the dirty politicians, insurance companies, and doctors that push the same treatments that don't work, and insurance companies that sell drugs that are more addictive then heroin for $$ feeding into this cycle made by our, "government system." They are the real criminals.
Was on the stuff for years it’s horrible stuff, I’m on week 3 now clean of it and still have withdrawals. 8 yearsish of using and pain but I’m done with it now finally I can start to try live a normal life
I get “Carrie’s” to go on holiday. A steal lock box with a key is required. I can take 12 bottles at a time with me as long as I’m within Canada, or I can send my script to where ever I’m going
Is was in Cardiff prison more than I was in my own home not that I had a home, heroin killed most of my friends, if we had a school reunion, it wouldn’t be many people attend . 20 years I’ve been clean no slips ! I realise I’m a greedy bastard who takes things to extreme. Enjoy watching your vids
Ill never understand this... I have to pick up my monthly doses - ONCE A MONTH - no more/no less than i have to so to get my inhaler medication that is also used daily.
Complete nonsense about 80% just wanting a buzz. It's a lifesaver for good people that become addicts and addicts do recover. Your saying 80% of people are bad. 20% take the piss 80% are desperate too recover
You can do stuff that’s not true learn how to work a program and learn how to advocate for yourself your can earn bottles or guest dose I don’t let nothing stop me I guest dose all over the world
@@Samps1992 when you dose at another clinic if your out of town or on vacation ur basically a guest there u have to pay cash to get the dose and ur clinic needs to set it up when u go away or what not or vacation and ur counselor will help u set it up! This is if you don’t already have bottles some people don’t so they can guest dose
Exactly. I get 30 days of methadone take homes. If you stay off of illicit drugs and take your recovery serious then it becomes possible to travel. Granted there are countries that have made all methadone illegal or not for use outside of a hospital, but those aren’t common.
Only if your doing baby shots of shitty dope. I just got out of the hospital after 5+ years on 160mg of mdone, I was there to switch to subs, and dammmmnnnnn this is the HARDEST thing I've ever experienced. But I'm so sick of being married to a clinic. Sick of still smoking fetti every chance I got... Suboxone is less "drug like", you can't get high so it's an insurance policy against my bad choices, and people treat you much better on subs , whereas on methadone people think your just the worst of the worst.
Blocks everything u can’t get high on methadone. After the first year of being on it u really start to heal as time goes by and pretty soon u realize u never even think about using at all never thinking about pain pills or (if it’s ure thing) Heroin anymore like at all or going out and buying some u have zero urge to do😅
@@K1forMVPnot completely. You’d just need a lot more to get any sort of effect. It’s a partial blocker. Subutex is a full blocker from what I understnd.
Im a fuckin slave to it. Don't know about ya'll but i don't wanna die again at least until after my mother passes. Then i want to go as quickly as humanly possible. Don't wanna live without my family. And she's all i have left
Fuck subutex and suboxone doesnt do shit for cravings or withdrawals, now methadone actually helps me, and its better i go to the clinic everyday for a dose then my dealer everyday for a bag
This dudes a joke ….. been on it 4 years completely stopped useing everything else and only go to pick up my take homes 2 times a month …. No driving to a dealer everyday … work full time a s have a functional life …. So pound sand bro
But that’s the thing man, it’s not supposed to be used for multiple years. Please if you can, try to lower your dose. Don’t let the clinic just keep you on it forever
It also keeps me from dieing this guys a joke ….. i pick up 2 times a month and im lving my best life …. Held a job for 5 years now …. Its not for everyone but it does work
If you take your treatment serious and don’t use drugs while in recovery you get take homes. I get 30days worth of medication, I go in once a month. If you’re still getting high and drinking and fucking yo, then you need the liquid handcuffs
was heroin/fentanyl addiction not a bit like being a prisoner?

Methadone doesn’t make you high! I was on it twice.
