There are clean and sober groups there. Not sure if this means you can find methadone per se, but there's plenty of other stuff so it'd surprise me if you couldn't find it. My suggestion if my understanding is correct is just to being some with you. It's a prescription drug, right? If not, you might be s.o.l.
From the access section on the Bonnaroo website....
SECTION 6: MEDICAL CONSIDERATIONS Syringes A person bringing a syringe will need to show medication in prescription packaging with name on the label, and photo ID.
Medication Medication may be stored in the refrigerator in the Medical Tent in Centeroo. The tent opens at about 11 AM on Thursday and closes in the wee hours of Monday morning. Be sure to pick up your medication before the tent closes. Ice is available for purchase for those who wish to keep their medication at their campsite in a cooler.
Medical Waste Disposal Please dispose of your medical waste and sharps in the proper disposal at the Pod in Accessible Camping. Please do not dispose of these things in the trash barrels. We appreciate your consideration for our volunteers and staff who handle the trash bags.
I don't know anything about methadone, but I believe if it is a prescription and it is labeled as as a prescription, you should bring it. Just bring all your medical docs that state you must have it and carry it in the ORIGINAL packaging. I have to bring syringes for my methotrexate and a prefilled auto injector for my arthitis meds so I have read a bit about bringing meds to Roo.

Yeah, bringing your own would not be a problem as long as you had a scrip. But If you cannot bring your own and have nothing else with which to mediate withdrawl symptoms I really don't know what you should do. I would NOT want to be going through methadone wd's at Bonnaroo.

Are you on a daily pick up maintenance program now?
First off, I have to give you kudos, especially if you are on a daily pick up schedule. That takes serious dedication on your part. Fridays to you.
Secondly, if you can't talk them into giving you five to six days worth you are in for a wicked withdrawal at Roo. Add that the heat will already have you dehydrated plus the GI stuff you will encounter.....ugh. You're going to need to come and see the Inforoo RN's make shift ER for some IV fluids and such!
Show them your ticket receipt, the information about Roo, whatever you have to do to get them to give you 5-6 days worth. If they refuse, and you are on twice daily dosing, maybe try saving your evening dose so that you can stockpile for Roo. Downside, you will have a mild withdrawal over a few days at home. Ibuprofen and Imodium will be your best friend over those days, but you likely know that. Too bad you can't get some Tramadol.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.

Wow.. thanks for all the love guys!!!!! Yeah the problem is methadone does come in a script in pill form but my insurance dont work like that, I have to go to a clinic every morning...(yes this does suck but A. It is like 5 mins from my house and B. it is covered by my insurance). What I take is a liquid and they do not give take hime so i gotta figure somthing out. I mean there are plenty of ways not to be sick but I dont want to ruin a good thing. So I will be alright it will just cost alot of $$$$. But hey if ROO is not worth it what is.....Thank you all for the insight and not for judging me, alot of fppl think methadone is just as bad as junk but they dont know the facts, iit has helped my live a normal productive life. Thank You
Can you afford to pay for enough pills with cash? If so get a prescription for only enough to get you through Roo then go back to your regular routine. Good luck!

quack methadone and expensive rip off if ever there was one there is an efficent way to go off NO NO WORD!!! it is called methadone! And that is why it is banned in this country. You can go to Canada, Mexico. Virgin Islands. There you can get a single therapy session that will get you off all NO NO WORD!!! permenently. If you are having problems like that do yourself a true service stop spending money on an ineffective treatment program that strings you out for years and sometimes even decades. All it is doing is legaly doing what dealers have been doing to you for years. Methadone treatment make my quacking blood boil because they have known for years Ibogaine is a perfect replacment. These companies just want their quacking money. If I ever had a problem like that I would sure as quack go out of the country for treatment.

It is crazy with addiction being such a big problem ALL over the world Im suprised more ppl dont do this one time cure????? 3.DUDE IF METHADONE WAS INEFFECTIVE i WOULD HAVE A NEEDLE IN MY ARM RIGHT NOW. I LOVE BEING CLEAN!!!!

Oh I am saying it works I am just saying it is not the most effective treatment. Ibogaine is a cure not a maitenence program. It irks me to see ineffective tech used whether it is an internal combustion engine when electric or hydrogen is available or methadone when Ibogaine is available. The market wants you to keep comming back keep buying assholes like Henry Ford did stuff like this it is called planned obscolescence. The backbone of the industrial revolution. And the victimization of whole populations. I am just throwing it out there in case you were not aware of it or wanted to jettison your tether to the clinic. I am throwing it out there to help. And I am not knocking your current treatment either. I dont knock anybody really for using any drug even if you were shooting up 100% pure to deal with a personnal issue I am all about the right to self-medicate. At least if someone is using drugs they are trying to get help, whatever their particular problem is.. Now what I am saying is there is a more effective drug available. And f the opportunity came up I would look into it as a alternative.

So how much would the pills cost for a week's worth? Inforoo is pretty good at working miracles!
What she said.
Around $150....I know that doesent sound like alot but at the moment to me it is! Im not a bum or anything it is just other bills take priority...PS..I am in no way looking or asking for $$$ just opinions ;D
There is no way that I can head anything up right now. But I have $20 I can put towards it. Unfortunately this no job thing is leaving me a bit strapped.
Its an awesome thing your doing there, bonnarichert.
