USA/Australien. After Years of US Clinics, I Get Methadone With Dignity in Australia
I recently moved from the United States to Sydney, Australia. Uprooting your entire life can always be stressful. But a big extra stressor for me was uncertainty around how I would access methadone, a medication I have used for over a decade.
Fortunately, I needn’t have worried so much. An Australian friend who is also on methadone helped me to make an appointment with her doctor in Sydney. Being able to make an appointment to see a doctor was a welcome change for me, before I’d even moved. (Filter, USA, 11.12.2023)
