How Can Drug Addiction Be Managed?

Yes my name is Richard and i used to be in a pain clinic for many years. However, over those years i became addicted to opiods and other drugs. I had a dirty urine test for methemphentamine and got kicked out of clinic. Been trying to get into a suboxone program but my ex pain dr is making it hard. What can i do?

General & Family Physician, Dr. Purva Patel's Response

Hi,

Sorry to say but the doctor issues you have to manage somehow on your own.

But apart from that, I can suggest that your own support once you have determined firmly to quit the things.

Will take you to newer heights in life and meditations with YOGA will prove a turning point in this regard. I can assist you online for this guide if you wish at any time.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Purva Patel, General & Family Physician
