I have been taking Methadone 10 mg pills for pain for quite sometime now and though my medical status has greatly improved, I can't stop taking the pills. I am addicted and I can't see a way out. Is there hope for me?

Absolutely. I would suggest that you speak openly with your primary care physician with your personal current situation. Provided is a link which may also be of benefit to you.

Sure there is a way out. Go to detox, rehab, then a 12 step program. I did it and it worked for me. GOD bless you friend.

Ditto on last response.Detox . Quite some time sounds like a while.Mind over matter,You won't mind cuz the pills dont matter . Talk to your doc , call N/A , you will be amazed at all the new people you can meet . I'm 12 years dope free.LIVE,LOVE,LAUGH! No worry:)
