how can a pregnant woman detox without using methadone?

[crissd83]

I'm 10 weeks pregnant and addicted to oxycodone.  I live in washington state and the only way to detox here is by doing a methadone detox. There is literally no other way. Even hospitals won't help pregnant woman here because they are considered a liability. I really just want to detox and be done with drugs all together but all these professional are telling me methadone is the only way.  They said id i  do an at home detox I could have a misscarriage. My quetion is how can I detox safle$y without methadone and what meds can I take while being pregnant to help with the withdraw

Ditto!

Your OB/GYN needs to be the one guiding you through this.  I wish you the best!

Everyone is telling you the truth. There IS a way to do this safely but you would need to discuss that with an OB GYN.

We have liability issues here as well. But it's wonderful that you want to do this and it can be done. Check with the doctor and let us know how you are!

No one can answer this except your doctor.   You need to talk to an Ob/Gyn.
It will probably depend on how much you are taking, but you need a doctor's advice and help.
