I have contacted organizations on behalf of patients. I have got a reply from NAMA, but not from SAMSHA. I have tried to get the word out to as many people as possible. This has an effect on people, and their families. Some of these patients have been on maintenance with this medication and to have it stripped from them for no reason is not right. I haven't personally heard of doctor writing it unless it was the only choice. Given that most of the stuff they find on the streets was probably wrote for pain. People that seek treatment for opioid dependency have to go through various other checks and are under more scrutiny than pain patients. There are already restrictions and for people that go to federal licensed clinics they earned their take homes. Methadone is a far more dangerous drug and those people didn't lose theirs.
