IND. METHADONE CLINIC RESPONDS WITH LAWSUIT
The operators of a newly opened methadone clinic filed a federal
lawsuit today claiming that Clark County commissioners are
discriminating against their patients by investigating clinic
operations and seeking an injunction that could shut down the business.
The suit filed in U.S. District Court in Indianapolis came a day
after the commissioners, citing traffic congestion outside the clinic
on the day it opened Dec. 12, filed a lawsuit in the county Circuit
Court asking that the clinic be closed until it can prove it
operates safely.
Joe Pritchard, a vice president of CRC Health Group that operates The
Southern Indiana Treatment Center on Charlestown Pike near Ind. 62,
said the county's action violated the Americans with Disabilities
Act.
