Hey Lindsay,
Gosh, listen to ME trying to tell you about Methadone ---- when I could learn a lot about it (and everything that goes with it) from YOU!!! ;o) I didn't realize Rapid Detox was so horrible!!! I knew someone who underwent the procedure (back in the 'dark ages' for UROD), and he didn't mention all the horrors (then again, as I recall, he didn't stay clean either)!! I can't even IMAGINE waking up during the procedure, and didn't realize that was even a possibility!!! And this 'doctor' taking you to CHURCH with him for a week afterwards as AFTERCARE...? That's ludicrous!!!! :o( GAWWWD!!! I guess I shouldn't be suggesting the treatment to people when I OBVIOUSLY know nothing about it!! Thanks for teaching me!!!!
I am SO sorry about Chris -- that must have been (and must BE) SO painful & difficult for you!!!! How old is your baby? Is it tough parenting a baby by yourself while on Methadone (...aside from just the regular 'toughness' of parenting a baby by yourself period)?! I worry about SO many things about having a baby on Meth -- especially about things like 'will my baby have a terrible time detoxing after birth', 'what if I nod while holding my baby', etc.!!?
I am seeing a private doctor now (thank GOD), but I went to a clinic for 4 years when I lived in Seattle (where I'm from). It was a JOKE of a clinic, and the administrator didn't give a rat's a** about the clients -- just about depriving the clinic & clients of necessary programs so he, personally, could take in more money, & the imagined 'prestige' he thought being a clinic administrator gave him (which was ESPECIALLY comical, as he was practically illiterate)!! As you were saying on the WSM board, the cost for MY clinic was high also ($600 a month - and that was sliding scale)! It is MUCH better seeing a private doc!!! Not only does she actually CARE about me, my pain, my feelings, my life, etc., but being trusted to get my script once a month is a BIG plus, as compared to daily dosing (not to mention no surprise UA's & not being treated like a criminal)!! I've never taken the diskettes -- I'm on tablets now, but they used Methadose at the clinic in Seattle. What is the difference between the three, and why are the diskettes preferable (in that your clinic uses those instead)?? I'd sure like to talk to you in greater detail about your experiences, your pain, and everything else (if you wouldn't mind?)! Are we allowed to post email addy's?
Thanks again for setting the record straight on the UROD -- I was WAYYYY off!!!! :o|
Take Care...........
