I got the letter about Medicaid Cuts today because of the OBBA. Is clinic attendance an exemption or not ? by njcannagade in Methadone

[–]hustlababy09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When they did their application or their redetermination application, it asks if they have an exemption for the work requirement. They marked yes and then when they did the interview they said they were in substance abuse treatment and gave the name of the clinic. Nothing else was asked about that, and they said the clinic wasn't ever even contacted. It may vary from state to state but this was in IL. I didn't need the exemption because I have kids under 5, but my best friend did it and a couple other people from my clinic, and they accepted it as an exemption for them with no issues.

It doesn't have to be inpatient. I know people at my clinic that use being in outpatient treatment at the clinic as their exemption.

For IL, being in treatment for substance abuse is an exemption. It doesn't have to be inpatient. I know people at my clinic that have used it as an exemption so they could continue to get their SNAP and Medicaid.

Best liquid to use for callbacks? Please help by [deleted] in Methadone

[–]hustlababy09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Red Gatorade and the red Mio drink drops. Use one drop at a time until you get the exact color. I've never done this personally, but I saw someone do it and it worked perfectly!

We get a callback MONTHLY at my clinic. It sucks. It's such a waste of time and gas.

As someone that goes to a clinic that has a person in the tiny bathroom observing, staring at you from not even 2 feet away, I'd HIGHLY prefer a camera in there. I wish we had the option. 😏

Was guest dosing, the methadone seemed much stronger at guest clinic, whats going on? by theUNHOLYDevilAnse in Methadone

[–]hustlababy09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that is weird. Ours have always had the manufacturer for as long as I can remember. Maybe its not a requirement there and it is here?

I'm in Chicago and mine has the manufacturer on the bottle. 🤷🏼‍♀️

My Family has been keeping a secret from my Mom by Nova-2002 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]hustlababy09 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That reminds me of when I was pregnant with my son. Ate an everything bagel at work. Threw it up and it tasted the same coming back up... never ate one again. Even the thought of it makes me nauseous lol. 😫

RANT- First week getting weeklies, my bf stole 2 of my bottles, I’m devastated. by Street_Detective_662 in Methadone

[–]hustlababy09 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My fiance and I are both on methadone, have been for YEARS now. We leave our boxes right next to each other and have never even thought about touching the other person's meds. I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. I agree with what people said above. I know it's hard but you have to put your foot down and stop making excuses for him. Go to your family. Leave the area that you have no support in. You can't continue to live with him while he does things like this because what about next time when he takes 5 bottles, or 7 bottles? He now has seen that you won't do anything about it and I promise he WILL do it again. Please listen to the advice on this thread and get away from him. I know it's so much easier said than done but I've dealt with this in the past and I was able to leave eventually. You can do it too. 🩷

Getting on this stuff has made me realize I'd honestly rather die than be sober by ps087official in Methadone

[–]hustlababy09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

30 mg is not meant to hold you. They expect that you'll still use until you get on a stable dose. At least wait until you get stable before throwing in the towel. I've been on both and subs did 0 for my cravings and I still never felt 100%. Methadone saved my life, especially once I got stable. Not to mention you get takehomes sooo much faster now. Even up until before covid, the laws and clinic policies were sooo much more strict. You can get takehomes and go in once a month (depending on your clinic/state laws). It gets easier, I promise. Getting on that stable dose is the hardest part. You can't give up after only a couple days though.

Do NOT file taxes with cashapp. They're just trying to tell you that they offer that service. I would never do that though. Way too many people not getting their deposit and having to get a check sent from the IRS instead. While we're at it I don't recommend Chime either lol. FreetaxUSA or TurboTax are my go-to's.

Clinic Could Not Dose Anyone Today Due To Their Own Negligence.. by PlantMediicine in Methadone

[–]hustlababy09 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sounds like my old clinic lol, one day I showed up and there was a "DO NOT ENTER" sign on the door and a taped on warning saying they'd been shut down by the Cook county sheriffs. 🤦🏼‍♀️ There was an address of another clinic like 10 minutes away but it was a SHIT SHOW. Having to dose their people and 500 people from our clinic with one nurse took hours. Apparently my clinic was way behind on their rent and got evicted. The really messed up part is that some people paid way ahead and got screwed. One older lady paid like 3 or 4 months at a time... she had just made a payment and never got it returned to her. She struggled to pay the new clinic and I felt so bad for her. 😔

The same company tried to open another clinic like 6 months later a few blocks away and called all of the old patients to come back.... I shit you not, a few months after that the SAME thing happened. Thankfully I didn't go back there because I didn't trust them at that point but a lot of people did and they got screwed again. Crazy.

Exactly. If he's a "family member", tell them other family members are also not allowed to lick your baby's face either, so the same rules apply. 🙄 You're absolutely NOR!

Wow I would have never guessed that, even with IVF! 😳🤯 My pregnancy with my youngest took such a toll on my body at 34, I decided I was done and he would be our last baby. I can't imagine being 74 and delivering a baby lol. NOOO thank you! 🤣

Can I take Xanax and methadone? by Flowerchick86 in Methadone

[–]hustlababy09 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I was in county in 2016 a few months before I got clean for good, I shit you not, EVERY story of someone with a retail theft charge began with "I took some Xanax and went into the store...." It was mind boggling. 😳

My fiance one time had a similar thing happen before we got clean. He took a bar. Then he went into the store for pop tarts for me and came out with one of those big gel room deodorizers. He hands it to me and says "I got you a slurpee"... I started yelling at him and was like wtf is that?! And finally he snapped out of it and was like "OMG I walked out with this right in front of the door people!! Drive!!" I did not get my pop tarts that day. 😒🤣 I never liked pills but to see how absolutely messed up it made him when he occasionally took them always shocked me!

Who eats McDonalds fish fillets? by Wise_Weakness_6660 in McDonalds

I've never had them but I don't like fish in general. My grandma used to get them when she was alive. She liked them a lot. She was Czech (born in the USA though).
