I have been taking methadose and oxycotin illeagely for over a year now.
I am now trying to quit. The withdrawls are the worst thing i have ever experienced. So i keep going back to get more. I have no insurance, and i dont have the money to go to the E.R. Is there any way i can ease the pain, so I can get my life back in order. Please help I dont know what to do.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE. You need expert help from medical professionals who specialize in drug treatment. There are specialists who can counsel you during your detoxification from narcotics and provide medical assistance during this process. Also, you can call a drug or alcohol helpline to identify treatment centers in your area. Treatment centers medically intake patients for as long as is necessary for you to understand the disease of drug addiction, learn preventative measures to counter the disease, and develop belief that there is life after methadone and oxycotin. Further, you will need the support of your friends, family, and a 12-step support group to fully recover from your addiction. Simply, to recover from addiction, you need a willingness to change your life and the humility to start to take suggestions. To save your life, you can take action now.
