MORE METH CLINICS SUGGESTION IS RIDICULOUS

Saying that we need more methadone clinics is ridiculous. The fact that 
someone would even suggest that is even insane. Methadone clinics may 
benefit the very few, but in most cases it only causes a person to get off 
the previous drug they were on and become hooked on methadone itself.

To tell you the truth, there has been no real proof this method truly does 
work. It is a disgrace to know that our health care systems allow such 
treatment for drug addicts. I'm disgusted and appalled to know that it is 
allowed not only in this state, but also in this country.

The best way to get hooked off drugs ... is to never start in the first place.
