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.
