Why are you choosing methadone and how long do you plan on being on it? If getting totally clean is your goal, I wouldn't use the methadone for more than about 2 weeks, the other opiates will be out of your system and the methadone will slowly leave your system. Most clinics keep people on too long and then the withdrawal is worse than if you just stopped now and rode it our, even if you taper down the methadone slow. I would tell the clinic that you don't want to stay on it as a maintainance. Have you tried to taper down what you take and stop, it would be easier?

Bkitty, I'm trying to put the pieces together, you don't have to be in withdrawal to start methadone, I think it's just how it worked out.

Amber, What kind of rehab are you going to, methadone clinic, detox clinic, or what? What plan do they have for you when you get there? You will have to go through withdrawal no matter what, or are you using methadone for pain management?

[Bkitty]

So they want you in withdrawals? I think that's how it works? Weaver?? Help! Im not too familiar with how methadone clinics work I am so very sorry.
