I am TRYING to get started in a methadone clinic, I WORK as a PIPEFITTER traveling on the road all over the states how long would it take me to be able to have a take home dose that is the only thing that is stopping me from coming to clinic,

It takes 45 days to get your first take home! You can choose your own day. It doesn't have to be a Sunday. Clean urine screens and all your required groups done. The most take homes you can get now is 2 weeks. The first step takes 45 days. Each step after that is 90 days. Step 1: 1 bottle & a holiday. Choose your own day! Step 2: 2 bottles & a holiday. Saturday & Sunday Step 3: 3 bottles & a holiday Friday - Sunday Step 4: 1 Week Step 5: 2 Weeks Step 6: No Longer Offering! 1month...Grandfathered Only

My husband is a pipefitter by trade and can answer your question about travel better. It doesnt require all that much travel. Anyway, it takes 30 days to get Sunday take homes. Its a step system. You HAVE to earn take homes and the most you can get is 2 weeks but thats after a few months. Regardless of job or even disability, you'll HAVE to go every day to dose until you earn higher steps to get more take homes. Youll also be required to do counseling every month and group every month. You have to maintain CLEAN drug screens to get take-homes as well. They dont even allow medical marijuana (which is a shame imo) Its been nearly 10 years since we first started and some of the requirements have changed too so your best bet is to first CALL and ask questions. Then go to a clinic near you. As far as you working at different plants every so often,theres clinics ALL over the US and you can "guest dose" at one if your out of town also. Good luck! Its way worth it!! I promise!!
