Methadone Clinic Proposal Approved

They're victims in the sense that they cannot just quit, although they might want to.

They're like late stage alcoholics, or people who embezzle to support an out of control gambling habit.

Regardless, there is a rampant drug problem in America, and like the 800 pound gorilla in the room, it cannot be successfully ignored.

Oh sure, we as individuals can arrange our daily lives so as to minimize our exposure to these unseemly elements, but what if it is your kid, or neighbor?

What then?

I see the destructive effects of drug abuse on a near daily basis as it impacts people in divorce and custody situations.

Until recently, I saw the greatest problem with meth, but now cocaine is ascending, as is oxy.
