Methadone Clinic Proposal Approved

I will have to appologize for my rant. Maybe it is to complex for me to understand, or maybe I have a inside scoop and I hate to see the finger pointed at officials who's hands are tied by leagal obligation.(hence my anger)

It is very, very difficult to "kick" from heroin, oxycodone or other narcotics under the best of circumstances.

The rate of recidivism is shockingly high.

Just think of the "A-list" celebrities that have all the money in the world, and they are in and out of rehab.

There is a fundamental flaw, for lack of a better word, in "the human condition" which draws people to narcotics.

You can have it all, and yet, you ache for something ... more ...

Methadone clinics are a necessary prop for modern American society, like it or not.

It is better to have some tranquil junkie residents getting their daily fix of methadone in town than to have them unmedicated, breaking, entering, and burglarizing to get their next fix.

When chasing the dragon, the dragon always wins.
