How much methadone were you on? Is it not an option to find a doctor who will accept your insurance who can continue your treatment? After being on it for 5 years and stopping abruptly,it's going to be a rough road.I was on it for a year and a half.I went c/t off of 25 mgs and total physical recovery time for me was from 6-8 weeks.How much do you have left? Perhaps someone on here could guide you on how you could best taper with what you have.Look up the thomas recipe in the health pages,top right.Keep posting.Methadone detox is a long hard road,but it is doable...All the best...Kim
