Methadone maintenance/ vacation?!
Question:
Methadone maintenance/ vacation?
I just started Methadone maintenance for my addiction, but I am going away in two weeks. I have to go to the clinic daily to receive my meds. I live in Philly and am going to Florida.I found a methadone clinic near where I'm staying. Can my clinic send paper work down to the clinic in Florida so that they can distribute my meds to me for the week I am away? Or can my clinic supply me with a weeks worth of meds to take with me?
Answers:
Yes, talk to your counselor ASAP and they will set everything up for you, You will have to pay to guest dose. If you've been clean long enough they can give you enough to last you a week or 2. I moved to S.C and they let you get a month take home, in Indiana you could only get a 4 day take home,every clinic has its own rules. Good Luck and have a great vacation!!
