It's not just junkies who need these clinics. I have been on a cocktail of antidepressants and vicodin since I had spinal surgery 2 years ago. I want to stop taking the vicodin but my body is physically addicted to it now, and it does little to quell my pain. I asked my psychologist how we were going to get me off these pain meds and he said methadone and a pain management specialist are going to be my best bet. Great - what then? I will still be depressed and hurting a great deal but in less danger of harming my liver. I just want to stop hurting.
Can somebody tell me if they have had good results with acupuncture or something?
