RIGHT WAY TO TREAT ADDICTION

Respecting the opinion of Athena Stallard of Duffield, I made an informed 
decision and oppose a proposed methadone clinic in Scott County. Facts are 
a person can be addicted to many things including, but not limited to, an 
aspirin. However, what I looked at is spelled out clearly online, and from 
having to send a prior family member to a Marion facility for addiction and 
behavioral problems caused by a controlled, schedule II substance. The 
facility, in 35 days, rehabilitated to no drugs at all, versus switching 
one addictive substance for another, which does not accomplish anything 
productive.
