Prescription med use preventing access to rehab in U.S.

[Nicaine]

Just wanted to say this:



(1) I keep relapsing on cola, and can't seem to stay away from it.



(2) I can't afford the habit, but find ways to do it anyway. Does that tell you where I'm headed?



(3) I need treatment bad, but no treatment center will take me because I'm on Klonopin... even though I've used it RELIGIOUSLY, AS PRESCRIBED, FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS AS A PSYCH MED FOR MY ANXIETY, they won't take me. Takes a long time to get off it, and I don't think it's time I can afford.



I'm so freakin' pissed off at the drug treatment system in the USA. How far is dogma going to get anyone? Everyone here probably knows that **Klonopin does not get you high**, it's too long-acting. But I can't get the treatment I need because I'm on a fuckin' low dose of it. Hell, I usually take LESS THAN PRESCRIBED, but just the fact that I'm on it as a medication, can't get into **ANY** treatment center.

Yeah, I agree, like methadone, what a quack ass procedure, tbey just eat all the pills the same day. You've seen 'Train Spotting', I'm sure...?

Talk to the MD who is prescibing it for you. Thats what they are there for. He may be able to pull some strings for you.
