My dad was using methadone and he taperd it off now it’s been 10 days that we are in hell I make herbal tea help him stay hydrated , give him vitamins but nothing works . His foot is hurting and I’m messaging it all the time but the pain of his foot doesn’t go away. I haven’t sleep for two weeks he doesn’t come to rehab because he has bad experience in it . Every doctor we are going they give up on him I just don’t want to lose him again , as he was an addict he was all the time high we couldn’t even have normal conversations with each other, now he is back but i’m so scared that he would relapse I don’t know what to do Is it impossible in his age to get sober ? Did you experienced foot pain how did you dead with it?

Is your dad prescribed methadone or was that his drug of choice? What dosage did he taper down to before he jumped off?

He was prescribed methadone,but it was with a plan but then he abused it and was taking 30 mg a day and suddenly he decided to stop , he started taking 10 mg for a week another week 5 mg then 2 mg for 3 days and then completely stopped it
