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.
