Well I can’t help you much with missing a dosage, that is something you have to make sure you do on your own. I would suggest waking up earlier to make sure you get there on time, don’t screw around too long or I guarantee that will happen again and no one will be able to help you out with getting your methadone treatment until your next scheduled time. It is up to you to make sure you get there on time.

As for the feeling that you need a fix, I would suggest you get a friend or your husband or someone to stay with to help get your mind off the drugs. They will be able to help you stay away from the people with drugs and you’ll end up feeling better than if you use again. You could also pick up on your favorite hobby or take some time to learn about your spiritual path to give you something to look forward to rather than using. Hope you can stay clean, good luck!

I really suggest checking yourself in for inpatient treatment. You will have a withdrawal from methadone it really depends on how much you have been taking and how long you have been using opiates as to how bad it is going to be. I have kicked vicodin cold turkey after 3 years of use and it was 3 days of hell, then every day got better. It seems to me you would seriously benefit from therapy in addition to getting off methadone. Something has to be triggering you to use, and addressing that is the key to recovery. Good Luck!
