The new building is going to be a Family Dollar, not a Methadone Clinic. Get your facts straight!

Why would a church get involved in that mess? We don't need a methadone clinic either!

I don't think people who don't have a problem w/opiates, understand how a clinic would help our community. Getting people of different race,age,and different stories of why they use. Because no waked up and says I want to b addict to anything.(Cigarettes, alcohol, and opiates). It is a hard lonely road to live. You shoulld never judge someone because they have a problem. When someone needs help u should help exceptional someone who wants help.I hope people realize how methadone clinics work. U just don't go and get your dose and leave. Patients have alot of rules to follow or u will b dismissed and not aloud back for atleast 30 days. U have drug screens every month. Sometimes two and can b supervised by a nurse or a counselor. Classes u have to take to learn how not to use. U have to talk and see your counselor every week.u even stand n line like u r waiting at a doctor office and b quit. Fail a drugscreen for any illegal drug u r out no matter what. They do give u a chance and I mean a chance to pass the rest. But if u screw u r out
I know it saved me and alot of friends ,so having a clinic would b a good idea.if u have a better one then let me no. But I don't see no other choices in our county.AA ISNT ALWAYS SO EASY BELIEVE ME IF IT WAS THERE WOULD B LESS DRUG ADDICTS AND ALCOHOLICS N OUR COUNTY. JUS KEEP A OPEN MIND.

You must be on methadone yourself cuz otherwise you would not support it. I have seen first hand what methadone does to people. Yes the clinic makes you follow rules but how hard is that when your getting high everyday for a lil over 10$. The lifestyle on methadone then becomes as addicting as the drug itself. And if the person wouldnt have the money for methadone or gas to get their high the addict is still going to react the same way they did on pain pills,, do anything to get it. Methadone is very hard on a persons body and bones. Its just government appoved,, but its a VERY addicting drug that probably takes years off the persons life. Not only that its a great place to meet more druggies. So tell how can a person stay clean around druggies and dope !! They CANT !!! A person has to stay away from all that to be SOBER !! Being an addict is a horrible life but only the person themself can fix it, not methadone!! So go ahead and let the government help kill you then go have a big mac and smoke a pack of cigarettes a day. People need to find will power to live a sober life, not methadone !! Good luck chump.

From what I've read about methadone treatment for opiate addiction, it can and does work for many people.
Methadone does not get you high if taken as prescribed at the clinic, you don't develop a tolerance for it and therefor need more and more, and it actually blocks the euphoric effect of heroine, OC's, and other opiates.
Counseling and talking with others that are going through the same struggle, is not a bad thing. In a controlled environment, it's called a support group. As shown on here, some people are very close minded, and someone going through opiate addiction and recovery isn't likely to find a sympathetic or understanding person at the grocery store to talk to. And knowing you're not alone, and having someone to talk to can help alot.
I think anyone that seeks out a methadone clinic to help kick their opiate addiction should be congratulated and shown support, not bashed for looking for a $10 high.
Just as with any drug, methadone can be abused, or used for the wrong reason.

I glad we have people that r open mined about addiction. And I don't go to the clinic. I have been clean for 2years now. Methadone is like any drug u take it can have Side effects. But it doesn't mean u will get them. And u don't get high off of it. Plus it blocks other opiates. So u can't abuse them because its a waste and u can't feel it. Like I said it helped me and some people dont do the program right. But just because they don't u. Should not put down something that can help others. One day u might no someone u love that has a addiction. Wouldn't u want help for them instead of watching them go down a rode that they can't get out. But thank u to the person who was understanding. I am 723 days clean and it was the hardest thing I have done. I graduated from MSU w/ a nursing degree. Have 2 beautiful kids and a very happy marriage. And if it wasn't for the methadone clinic I would b n jail, dead, or on the streets. I know I wouldn't have what I have now. Thank u GOD. FOR GIVING ME ANOTHER CHANCE. M/b u need a chance to rethink your opinion.

myself i agree with dr.drew who is a drug addiction specialist, you dont cure a drug addict by taking away 1 drug and giving them another.

Tas the night before New Years, when all through the ghetto
Not a creature was stirring, not even a Gaucho;
The gangsters were hanging in the hood without care,
An the cops were all paid off and wouldn’t come there;

The crack-hoes were trippin all johns in their beds,
While visions of crack rocks danced in their heads;
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Were holding our product pop crackle and snap,

When out on the corner there arose such a clatter,
I sprang to the ally and up the fire escape ladder.
Behind a big dumpster I flew like a flash,
Tore open the lid and hid in the trash.

The spoon full of burnt crack from the crack smoking ho
Gave her a dirty high not like flying on blow,
Then, what to my bloodshot eyes should appear,
But a Mexican Pimp, selling heroine here.

With a rubber band tighter , so stretched and so thick,
And a dirty needle my arm he would prick.
More rabid than beagles my curses they came,
And he pressed on the plunger, and put death in my brain.

"Now, DAMNHER! the, ROMANCER! the, POLE DANCER and the VIXEN!
Oh , VOMET! I am STUPID!,I WONDER If ill Miss them!
To the cop of the post ! to the Cop of the walk!
No cash today! No cash today! No cash today at all.!"

As dry buds that in the glass bowl fry,
When they meet with a lighter, that is turned up real high,
So up to the town cop with curses I flew,
To narc out the Mexican and for the pay I was due.

And then, in as I was chilling, I heard so aloof
The addicts call of a wheeze and a cough.
As I drew out my glock , and was turning around,
Round the corner the Hispanic dropped to the ground.

He was dressed all in kevlar, from his head to his foots,
And his clothes were all camo with big combat boots;
Two bandoliers he had crossed on his back,
Right then I decided to lay off the crack.

His eyes -- dilated ! his pimples how scary!
His teeth were all missing, his scowl was so dreary!
His foul little mouth was drawn up like prune,
And the skin was pale and tight like a blowed up balloon;

The stump of a roach he held tight in his teeth,
And the rosin it stained his lips underneath ;
He had a pale face and a sunk in eyes,
That popped out of his head when he realized

That he was me in a mirror that sat on the shelf
And I wretched when I saw him, because he was myself;
A wink of my eye and a twist of my head,
Soon gave me to know I saw myself there half dead;

We spoke not a word, but went straight to our work,
Detox soon set it in with the shakes that then turned to into jerks,
And laying his finger beside of my nose,
And giving a snort, up my nostril pills rose;

That calmed the beast, it whetted my whistle,
So I snorted more like the down of a thistle.
So Ill not leave my name as I finish this write

A new years like this will always delight
