Question by : How do you get methadone to get off of narcotics? Do you have to do inpatient?
I am wondering how the whole process goes to get methadone to get off of narcotic pain killers? Would I have to do inpatient care, or could I just see a therapist like once a week and still have the methadone to help? And also, since I have a child would she be taken away from me? I am afraid afraid to call the treatment service because I am afraid of the unknown.
