Have been in similar situation myself. yes I considered a dilaudid clinic, but did not need to have to taper for the yr+ they told me it would take. Foolish, if I had known what hell I was going to face I would have completed it. With a professional medical job its kind of difficult to adhere to the clinics stringent strategy and also yes, I would love to recommend for prescription drug lovers who are denied therapy. A 30 day outpatient therapy program is awesome, but with that level of dependency we really need inpatient medical detoxification. Unfortunetly unless you have good insurance, its next to impossible unless you can fork over 10grand for rapid detoxification. I have to say I am rather proud of the fact that the medical “experts” said going cold turkey off dilaudid was that difficult….But I DID IT! I feel if I can do that, I can do anything. and yes, I am very careful about drugs but dilaudid is one of teh best things I’ve tried and I still enjoy hydromorphone from time to time. It takes a maximum effort of self control to only take what was recommended. I’ve had 3 bouts of kidney stones, and a broken leg and was recommended drugs for each occasion. I am proud to say I took them only when necessary and didn’t try to refill to just get high. But yes HYDROMORPHINE ITS NOTHING LIKE IT, it is shameful the way the medical profession treats OPIOD lovers nowadays & those who want to get help. The general attitude is “TS…they got themselves hooked..let them deal with it & thats the way the system works, unfortunately, take care all.
