Unhappy I am very sorry for your loss...

It is totally unnecessary for doctors/rehab to be so blind and uninformed.

Data about methadone has been out for about 5 years. I have been posting
about the risk for about 2 of those.

I have a post on Chronic Pain here if it would help your website:

it is post #4.

Switching people over to high dose methadone from other opioids is not
safe without cardiac EKG testing to rule out congenital prolonged QT events.

4 months on Percocet could be tapered by your doctor. Why a dramatic rehab was done, I don't understand.

I am so sorry for your loss!
