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.
