Im a recovering heroin addict, for the past 2 years ive been taking methadone. Ive been trying to taper down my dose and figure out what works best for me but its been a constant struggle. Ive had to go back up on my dose just so i could somewhat function daily. The clinic I go to in no way wants to see you come off the methadone. I need some type of help i cant do this alone ive been trying. I just cant seem to find any help for people wanting to taper off the methadone. I dont want to have to rely on a medication everyday so im not ill if i dont have to. Noone seems to be educated on this &amp; i dont know what to do. I dont have insurance or an income. Is there any options for me or is this just something im going to have to take for the rest of my life.!? I want to take control back over my life. I need your help or can you please point me in the direction to someone who might be able to help me.!? God bless you.!
