After also being after prescribed Oxicoton for a serious pain condition this year, which i managed to get myself off and over the withdrawals without any help from services. I stabilised back on my 30ml of meth and then tried Suboxone, which I felt nearly killed me. After a lot of discussion with psychiatrists and drug workers i was finally allowed to go into our nearest Crisis Centre, for a 3 week detox. I completed the 3 weeks drug free. However i am now back at home, nearly 6weeks methadone free and I am concerned that, in my opinion, I have been offered no real help from an addiction worker
