Default Right On Target!

Mr Meeks letter is spot on! Read it carefully because it tells the facts about what these clinics are all about from someone who seems to have a lot of experience.

"Methadone maintenance is based upon harm reduction, which does not emphasize abstinence."

And that right there is the issue. Why should they emphasize abstinence, they are a "for profit" business!

I am not saying that Laconia does not have a drug problem, nor am I saying forget about the addicts. What I am saying is a Methadone clinic is not the way to CURE the problem and it will only cause problems for the city of Laconia and its neighboring towns.
