What Are The Possible Treatments For Drug Addiction ?

I am trying to get help with drug addiction and am having a very difficult time trying to receive the help I desperate need. I have tried methadone and it did not help me. I have been trying to find a doctor who prescribes suboxin, but all the physicians that I have contacted who use this method require $250 cash a month even though I am covered my Medicaid. I certainly cannot afford this as I do not work at this time. I need to receive treatment before I can even contemplate getting employment. I am trying so hard to receive the treatment that I need, but I feel I am just being kicked in the teeth no matter where I turn. I sincerely want to change my life and get back on the right course again. Please advise me as to what I can do. Thank you, Kellie

Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Getting treated from opioids requires tremendous commitment. You have not mentioned why methadone has not worked for you. Suboxone is also a good drug but yes you have to shell out money for the same.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
In future if you need any further details about your query, you can use the below mentioned link:

Wish you good health,
Kind regards
