If you are taking methadone as a maintenance drug to aid in recovering from an opiate addiction, you are probably better off sticking with it. Methadone maintenance has no significant negative health effects, and patients who remain on methadone show gradual but steady improvements in health and functioning, while those who quit worsen in both aspects and have a much higher tendency to relapse into opiate use. You will need both medical and psychological support to get off of methadone. It is important to note that not all doctors are able to prescribe withdrawal drugs like suboxone, because it requires a special training and approval from the government, such as the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in the Unites States. Physicians with the proper training can tailor a withdrawal program to suit your needs and prescribe appropriate withdrawal drugs. Quitting methadone is not easy. You will suffer withdrawal symptoms, and you will need to either carefully reduce your methadone intake over time or take medications regularly to substitute for methadone. Especially if you are quitting in an out-patient setting, it is extremely helpful to have friends and family who can hold you accountable and remind you to stay on course.

Make the business plan look as professional as possible. Open a word processing document and set the font to Times New Roman or Garamond. Add a cover page to your document. You can title it "[Company Name]'s Business Plan" or "Business Plan for [Your Name]." If you have a logo, include that too. In the first section, you should summarize your business as briefly as possible. For example, you should mention what products or services you offer and where you are located. You should also briefly explain why you think you will succeed. You might want to write this summary last, but it goes first. For example, you can write, "You All Day is a start-up dedicated to providing men and women in Chicago a high-quality day spa experience at an affordable price. We specialize in pedicures, manicures, massage, and herbal aromatherapy. The Near North Side of Chicago has grown substantially over the past 20 years, with young, educated millennials settling in to start families. This area is currently under served, and we hope You All Day can meet the demand of the local market." You might write bits and pieces of your business plan over several months. However, you need to put it all together into one document. Arrange the business plan sections in the following order: Executive Summary Company Description Industry Analysis Market and Competition Products and Services Marketing and Sales Plan Operations and Management Financial Forecasts Exhibits/Appendix This material should go in the back of the business plan. Make sure to clearly label each attachment. For example, if you include a resume then identify it: "A: Lisa Jones Resume" or something similar. Make sure your label is the same as what is mentioned in the body of the business plan. Once you've finished a draft put it aside for a few days. When you take it back out, review with a critical eye. Does the business plan make sense? Is it too repetitive? Is it hard to read? Review for typos and other errors. An accountant should check your numbers to make sure they are accurate. Analyze the overall presentation. Is the information crammed in so that the document is tiring to read? If so, spread out the information so that there is a lot of white space on each page. You can also show the plan to a business adviser. If you live in the U.S., you can show it to someone at your nearest Small Business Development Center, which provides help drafting business plans. You can find your nearest SBDC by visiting this website: https://www.sba.gov/tools/local-assistance/sbdc. Use quality paperthe brightest white you can find. If you have pie charts or other graphics, you'll want to print in color. Bind the plan using a three-ring binder or more sophisticated methods of binding available at Staples or other printers. You might want to include tabbed partitions between each section of your business plan. This will make it easier for someone to flip through it and find what they are looking for.
