Question : I am a hep c patient stage 2 fatty liver and sisk. I am a meth user daily for 18 years. Before the meth my life was from bed to couch with suicidal thoughts, the meth got me up and going, I'm not if user and only use it in the mornings to get through the day and sleep at night. The thought of not being able to receive treatment for hep c without the help of meth has made me have suicidal thoughts again. Is there no treatment anywhere for meth users?

Brief Answer:
Yes there is

Detailed Answer:
Dear Ma’am,
I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but medically speaking, it is possible that you take the hepatitis treatment while on Meth. despite the fact that taking meth leads to exhaustion of your liver tissue and decrease the ability of regeneration of new healthy liver cells...

However, it seems that the regulations of the institute you are seeking treatment at doesn’t allow that... I hope you find this helpful...
