@pj and jj,

In regards to finding a local pain doctor, I have listed below a couple websites specific to locating pain management doctors in a given area. All you have to do is input your city or zip code for narrowed results:
doctorsforpain.com/physicians/index.html

You can give this other page a try too if you come up with different results for some reason or another:
wellness.com/find/pain%20management%20specialist

Many of the results you find (in one or both of the links above) also list a phone number for that specific doctor; I'd consider calling up a number of them to see if they are accepting new patients; some aren't, but most usually are.

Unfortunately, no one can know ahead of time what a doctor is or is not willing to prescribe, as that is based on the doctor's discretion. Some advice I can give you is to not specifically ask for any 'specific medication' when you see a new doctor. Make sure to transfer or take a copy of all your medical records with you. Then, the best approach is to discuss up front and honestly what has and hasn't worked for you in the past. Most doctors will take it under consideration if they know it's worked for you without causing any problems or severe side effects.

I hope this information helps!

There is a methadone clinic in Jackson, MS. Near UMC hospital. I've been going there for 4+ years. Alternative for Life. Our highest phase allows you 2 weeks take home doses. Memphis phases go as high as a month.

For anyone looking for a physician who prescribes methadone so your health insurance will cover the cost, altapointe.org in alabama (mobile) will bill your insurance. I've been paying GCTC 91 dollars a week for 2 years and just found out I could have saved $7,000 had I called around. I'm about to transfer to altapointe (I'm phase 4 at GCTC), and I'll post my results soon.
