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.

Methadone withdrawal duration can take up to 4 times longer, if you can get oxymorphine treatment it has a much higher sucess rate and none of the side effects of methadone.

Question by iamwetoddid365: Why would my girlfriend go to detox? Seroquil or opiate addiction?
I think my girlfriend is lying to me. She told me that she has been trying to get off of Seroquil and has to go to the hospital for “detox” 5-7 days. My brother is a psychiatry resident and told me that withdrawal from seroquil does not require detox and a 5-7 day period is used for withdrawal from heroin or opiates. I suspect she is not telling me the truth and said that she was going to be violently ill and I couldn’t visit her. A 5-7 day stop in the hospital where you get violently ill sounds like withdrawal from methadone, not seroquil. What do you think?
