Im a heroin adict just moved to tacoma wa how fast could i get in a methadone clinic?


Does a doctor have to be on site at all times at a methadone clinic?
I'm a registered nurse and I'm considering changing fields and getting into nursing for patients struggling with addiction. Does a doctor have to be present at a methadone clinic at all times? Or can they do an initial intake and just see patients each time they have a dosage change? For patients stable on methadone, that don't have 'take home' privileges, do they have to report to the clinic each day or could a nurse come to their house or work and watch them take the methadone?Any medical and legal information you can provide would be greatly appreciated I am considering a unique approach to methadone patients. Thank you so much Dear emtlpn2b,You make an excellent point. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. I'm thinking I would only be servicing those with no criminal background and who are professionals who work full time and can afford this kind of specialized care service. I won't be going to any neighborhoods that are dangerous. You do make a good point though and I'll be sure that if I do this I have a safe and a concealed weapon permit as well as doing a through background check on any potential patients and checking out the area's that I'll be driving to. Thanks again

Can I lose my social security disability benefits because I start going to a methadone clinic?
I was going to pain management for many years and started abusing my meds. I have been in a Methadone Maintenance program before, but now that I am receiving monthly disability checks for my medical condition I am scared this might throw up a red flag and I will lose my disability because of me having an addiction substance abuse problem. I know from a previous experience that they ask for your SSN so they can create your new patient number from the state.

Whats the point of methadone clinics?
My uncle got back on heroin, he does it all in one shot because he's a idiot. Iv done heroin before but iv never done more than a 10$ bag at once. A 10$ bag last me all day and most of the time i get sick of it and save it for next day not many people can do this not that i'm proud of this or anything. He on the other hand will do 100$ worth within hours just after being clean for months ''Stupid''So now since he has completely abused it and he has dug himself a nice deep hole he gets dope sick when he doesn't get it. Like in record time he can go from clean to dope sick, it's a paradox. He's almost 50 and doesn't have a job. Somehow he got disability and blew his social security savings for it. Collects a couple hundred a month and instead of spending it on regular heroin where price is an obstacle he is buying record amounts of methadone at 50$ a week and as a bonus ''a bonus'' the ''well behaved'' addicts with take home privileges sell it out front the clinic. Now iv done methadone before just because he has given it to me. It's very long lasting, however it's not like real heroin but it's still strong, strong enough to kill you via respiratory depression.So whats the difference?...it's the same thing but in pink coolaid form. The logistics are a little different, drug is a little different but frankly it's the same thing. A matter o fact it's worse because the government is pushing it and it's so much more efficient then those ''pesky Illegal drugs'' that are ruining society.So now he can stay higher longer for cheaper...''great'' Not saying drugs should be legal but the government is doing just that. Just so long as they get their money.Personally i think he'd be better off buying on the streets, at least it doesn't come from tax payers pockets and he has to work into his addiction and work his way out for not having it, the clinic has taken care of the gravity problem. I guess methadone is a better option than heroin if you don't want to fiend.He plans on staying with this program for years Brags about it proudly.Did you know just about anybody can do a bit heroin for the day and get on this program for capitol gain or cheaper high? And that's what is happening is this case.They drop you every time you come in and he still does regular heroin on the side, if he doesn't do it for awhile and passes a drug test then he gets take home privileges. Sorry if this turned into a rant
