COMPETITIVE CLIMATE FOR DRUG TREATMENT: NO GOOD FOR ADDICTS
Dr. Wayne Pasanen, Lowell General Hospital's medical director, has
mixed emotions about the recent proposal to open a methadone clinic
in the heart of the downtown business district.
It's an important issue for someone like Pasanen, who has been on the
front lines in the war against drugs for many years.
Not the "war" on drugs, mind you, as that war is an easy one, one
that often includes not much other than mottos, and some good,
old-fashioned self-righteousness.
