Are There Any Doctors in Michigan Who Prescribe Methadone for Addiction?
Question by : Are there any doctors in michigan who prescribe methadone for addiction?
Best answer:
Answer by J Miller
No there isn’t. There isn’t any anywhere since prescribing methadone for addiction is illegal. Methadone for addiction can only be dispensed, never prescribed, in a methadone clinic that has received special permission from the federal government (SAMHSA). In some instances individual doctors can also dispense methadone in their offices if they are directly affiliated with a clinic and are working under their license or if they receive the license themselves. These doctors are called OBOT (office based opioid treatment) providers. Unfortunately there are so many hoops a doctor that wants to be an OBOT provider has to jump through so as a result there are only a handful OBOT providers in the country. To qualify for OBOT you also have to have been on methadone for at least 2 years with no dirty drug tests and be stable in general so if you’re a new patient the only option is to go to a methadone clinic.
