These clinics that announce themselves to be a source of "Detox" really are nothing more then a source for controlled drug dealers "Legally". Instead of detoxifying a patient from other drugs they are only a non-stop supply. Many patients are on their programs for years. Here is a link to Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals, large provider of Methadone. They provide a locator for a clinic near you: These are clinics that purchase from their company. ****Not all clinics abuse the needs of people with addictions**** _________________________________________________________________ E-Mail Your Government Officials about Methadone ______________________________________________________ | |
