Ok so I posted on here a few months ago about quiting Heroin cold turkey or going to rehab. I went to a 5 day detox and left AMA. It was a 5 day meth taper 25,20,15,10,5. I am trying to get the Vivitrol shot, or naltraxone pellet but I realize now that methadone takes a very long time to exit your system. If I knew that I would have stayed in rehab longer. Hinesight is 20/20 right? Does anyone have experience with this timeline? I now have 7 days off the methadone, and have been clean since, but was told by dr that it can take 14-20 days for the methadone to exit my system so I can get the pellet/shot. I am hoping someone here has experience with this and that timeline is shorter. I am hoping dr is saying longer than it really is to cover his ass. Like I said, I have been clean, but everyday is tough. Once I have the pellet/shot I know I cannot get high as I have used this many times with great success.

Thank you in advance.

welcome back doinitforaj - I have no personal knowledge to share I'm afraid

Why would you think your doctor is lying tho?
What exactly would he be covering himself for?

If he says it's that long, I reckon it probably is.

I'm thinking that because he wouldn't want people coming in to get the shot/pellet too soon and getting violently sick. Maybe their is some legal reason. It has happen that he told me I needed 7 days off heroin to get the pellet and I got it in 4. So I am hoping the same situation for this. Just hoping.....

Anyone else have experience with this?
