Go here. Get the help you need. No matter how much pills or heroin or fentanyl you use. You’ll feel better day #1. And it gets better and better each following day. MAT is not “trading one addiction for another”. There is a huge difference between addiction and medical dependence.
Staff is professional & friendly. Clinic is well run, wait times are minimal for the volume they do. Nurses & Doctors know the addiction cycle very well & are up to date on current street drugs and their effects. Harm reduction services 🙂
You have to want to quit the drugs for the program to work. Going everyday to dose is hard for everyone at the beginning. But we put in hard work to stay high every hour of everyday for years, so this should be no problem.
If you are using street drugs (ie; random chemical mixes being labeled as ‘fentanyl’) then it’s a matter of life and death. The drug supply is so toxic and getting worse. If you tried suboxone and it didn’t work / wasn’t strong enough to help you detox. Then talk to a doctor about methadone. Can’t say enough positive about my (year and a half so far) sobriety journey with OATC. They really made it so much easier than I ever imagined.
You’ll regret not going sooner!
