Help getting off xanax in 5 days because methadone clinic said he has to quit now!

Well heres whats happened my husband and I are going to a methadone clinic together and he just started with me at this clinic. Which he had a doctor who was giving him 480 10mg methadones and 150 xanax a month. Well this doc.didnt take our insurace so she dropped him after 11 yrs of giving him these 2 meds, monthly and he started the clinic and about 2 months ago. When you go to a methadone clinic they do UA on you which his showed levels that made the doc. say he had never ran across someone with this much xanax in there levels so they pulled him off to the side and said he has to get off xanax within 5 days or no more methadone which he takes 110mgs aday now which I dont take this two drugs I just take methadone and Im at 180mgs aday which I need to find out how to go down on my dose because its to much I think I like to sleep alot and dont wait to go anywhere at this time and this is not like me or him just a years ago when I was at 110mgs Ihad energy I loved to go walking and we played tennis with our kids daily and now I fill like s_ _ t all the time.but anywhy back to him we dont know what to do about this 5 day limit because he has 25 pills left and he doesnt want to go cold turkey to much can happen so we are trying to find away to make him quit with just having him take so many a day till gone but we need a example of detoxification to make these 25 pills help him quit. So if anyone know what we can try please let us know.Thank you and have a great day!

Well honestly the clinic can't make him quit that fast . honestly if it was me i would get some one else that goes to the clinic that only takes done to use the urine for his ua but will only work till he gets to diversion . I'm on 110 mg myself and after taken that much i just one day with my take home cut it in half and im not sick but i also take vita done which helps.

Listen girl as far as your husband goes no clinic is going to allowed for him to be on xanax unless they prescribe then themselvesand 5 days is unreal for him he will have problems ,i am sure the clinic warned him befor hand about the xanax,he could do this go into a rehab an detox xanax before he gets trown out of clinic ,i seen people do it while i was in rehab while on medical supervision don`t do it on his own he is risking his life again and they wont touch the methadone now i am talking about the state of Pa,now about you ,i think you are going to have to give them clean ua till they reach the point of trust and stabilize yourself on your dose,best way is blind detox,180mg is alot! i was at 200mg due to my plasma levels even do i never felt sick and this led to other problems of abuse so be careful and good luck
P.S. bring it to the staff at the clinic attention and if they care they would meet with and your counselor
always remember is your life and this did not happen in 1 day.
