I am aware of at least four other clinics in New Hampshire (Manchester, West Lebanon, Somersworth and Hudson).
Methadone is used not only to treat heroin addiction, but also other opioid addictions, such as an addiction to that new scourge, oxycodone.
Methadone is also used as an analgesic for chronic pain management.
I am neutral toward them; on the one hand, it attracts riff raff; on the other hand, I'd rather have the riff raff getting a legal fix than have to watch them steal to support a habit.
The real question: how best to curtail drug addiction?
