Not really. Only licensed methadone clinics are able to use methadone to treat addiction. If you have a chronic pain issue, you may be able to get it from a pain doctor. Otherwise you must attend a methadone clinic. At first you go daily, but after 90 days you can begin to earn takehome doses and by the time you have been there for one year you can go once a week. In many states you can earn up to a month's worth of takehomes, within 2 years' time.

How long should you stay in methadone treatment?

if you are going to a clinic everyday, chances are very slim that you will ever quit. Methadone is the most addictive opiate in the world. Your best bet would be to try and get a prescription to a drug called suboxone or subutext. It is a maintenance drug that does the same things as methadone but just without having to go to the clinic everyday. I went to a clinic for years and since I have switched to suboxone my life has changed for the better. But truth be told once someone starts taking a maintenance like these everyday it is very very unlikely to ever stop.

How do you sign up for methadone treatment?

You can get it by going to a METHADONE clinic, doing an intake, seeing a doctor, and producing a urine test. Methadose is RARELY prescribed by regular doctors, and when it is, its for people who have chronic severe pain. Methadone is methadose in liquid form, and you cannot get a prescription for methadone. Federal law prohibits anyone (including doctors/hospitals) other than a licensed drug treatment clinic to prescribe methadone for addiction. Depending on where you are, some clinics have 1 month waiting lists. summary- you can only get methadone and methadose from a clinic, unless you have a broken back and an allergy to codeine.

Why do they test for methadone at a methadone clinic?

Testing exists to ensure that methadone patients are actually taking their medication and not selling it on the black market. I'd like to elaborate on the above answer. Testing for Methadone assures that patients are taking their medications because most people that are taking Methadone are on a previous medication that is causing the withdrawal alot of Methadone users will sell the drug to get their drug of choice. Also they want to make sure the user is not abusing the drug by taking too much.

You took 1 10mg methadone last night at 8pm and have a urine drug test at noon today you drank 2 gallons of water and the test was taken after 12 hours will the methadone show up in urine drug test?

yes if the test is going to include methadone on it. methadone is a synthetic opiate and the drug test must specifically test for methadone for it to show up. 1 10mg methadone can show up in your urine for 7 to 14 days. I have been on methadone for 6 years. Someone that takes methadone everyday it can show up on a drug test 30 days later. - - - - - You knew about this test beforehand but you did drugs the night before it anyway? Yeah, you need to fail. And don't ever drink two gallons of water in less than 12 hours again. That can kill you. Google "water intoxication."
