Methadone system! F***ed up!

[mightyhigh]

Does this make sense to any1?

Here goes.. Basically swim lives in Ireland &on a methadone program for 2 yr now. When 1st started got clean for 4mts or so but since then has been using on/off & has missed more days than actually turned up for clinic. However has managed to get life somewhat in order in last 2 mts and hasn't missed a day & is only using about once a week. Seeing as this is much better than worrying about a fix every day but it obviously isn't going to get me spanking clean and swim dont fancy ending up like others that on meth for 20yrs+ going around in the same rings for that time, swim want to try something else.

Thats where the problem is. As methadone obviously isn't working for her swim want to give rehab a try to see if swim can be brainwashed to fill the hole that only a bag of gear & a needle seem to fill, so asked clinic to refer for a detox so can do a rehab programme as u have to b clean to do rehab but they've said you have to be totally clean(no benso's,no nothing, only meth) giving clean samples for a few mts straight b4 it'll even b considered, but yet any1 just using H can apply to do detox no prob. Does swim take a chance of coming off clinic & getting an addiction worker to refer her & risk at the assesment that it wont b looked at that she already turned down 1 help(u can b sure it'll b looked at negatively) and put her to the end of the waiting list which will surely take 2-3yr or more, as theres only 20 detox beds here & minimal waiting is about 5-6 mts swim dont think switching to H is an option for swim. Swim dont fancy withdrawing by self as dont cope to well with w/d's. But isn't the system here f***ed up. Does any1 know if suboxone is available here, never even heard of it until read it on this few days ago.
