hey everyone I also am new here. I 've been searching for anything useful in my recovery of opiate addiction. my question is can you really take a couple doses of methdose and be ok as far as the withdrawl problems or do you sometimes need to be on it for months? I'm confused about this. maybe cause everyone is different? this is the first time for me trying to quit oxys but I've noticed its hard as ???$* and 2 or 3 days taking methadose just does'nt seem like it could be enough. I don't know but for the record I'm on my second day of methadose. can anyone shed some light?

re: detox

Personally, it is gonna take more than a few doses of methadone to detox off the oxys.  Ive been on the methadone program for a year and a month now and i figure ill be on it for atleast another year + or so.  But what can I say, everyone is different and there are different methods out there. Take a look into the suboxone/subutex treatment. And I think there are a few other ways out there to kick the habit.
