A NEW LOW IN PATRONIZING, DEMEANING RULES GOVERNING LIVES OF METHADONE PATIENTS

February 13th, 2008 | Category: Opiate Addiction

If you ask for take home privileges or ask questions about your take home paperwork, your take home privileges will be delayed by two weeks.” Reminds me of a scene with my son and grand-daughter a few days ago: “If you ask one more day to watch that TV program you won’t watch any TV for 2 days.” But my grand-daughter is 5 years old. Patients do not deserve to be treated like 5

year-olds. - that patients enter and stay in treatment where staff treat them like kindergarden kids. It’s amazing - and a testimony to true motivation! Charleston Treatment Program (W. Virginia) has the following notice posted:
“If you have completed the take home justification to receive take homes, do not ask your counselor where your paperwork is located or who needs to sign your papers next.
