The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.

Your loved one may not require home care or assisted living services at this time. However, continue to monitor their condition for changes and consider occasional in-home care services for help as needed.
Remember, this assessment is not a substitute for professional advice.
Share a few details and we will match you to trusted home care in your area:
"Methadone is prescribed for the treatment of heroin and other opioid dependencies, and for pain relief from some conditions. It is a type of opioid medicine, and is only available with a prescription from your doctor. Methadone can make it easier for people to stop taking more harmful drugs."
Do you have Medicaid. They provide transportation.
I would speak to the methadone clinic itself to see how you can work this out. You would need otherwise to fine/hire transportation in your own area, which would be costly. I am wondering if they would be able to fix something up with a pharmacy in your area? I would speak with their counselors and surely do wish you the best of luck.
"I am elderly *74, and I have to use methadone on a daily basis. However, I cannot get to my clinic in Haverhill Mass. everyday to get my daily medication. I was hoping to find a nursing situatian that could bring the dose to Hampton, NH each day. I have been led to believe I could die without it, I have been usuing it for about 6 years. An alternative would be a ride service? I need to add that I am using supplementary oxygen 24/7 also. Could you folks point me in the right direction for this methadone problem"
ciscoboards, first please remove all your personal information from your profile! This is meant to be an anonymous, global forum for caregivers and caregiving of the elderly.
Please contact your local pharmacy or your prescribing physician to figure out other options. Make sure they know that picking up the meds is a hardship.
Or, are you a Medicaid recipient? If so, please talk to your caseworker.
I can't work out who ciscoboards is from that information. I'm presuming that there are lots of people who live in the towns mentioned.
Nevertheless, ciscoboards, do be careful with imparting any personal information anywhere, especially as methadone can be misused and you don't want to attract any unwelcome attention. I hope that you find a workable solution to your problem.

Do you have Medicaid. They provide transportation.
See if they have shuttle buses available for you to pick up your meds. Good luck.
You might also try some churches in your area to see if they have volunteer services to help.
