Thank God there is FINALLY a clinic here. I moved to Humboldt for 10 yrs after my brother attended HSU. The amount of drugs in such a small area was insanity, we became addicted to opiates and moved back to NJ just to get methadone, he is off it now and doing great, I am a lifer but also doing amazing now and working all day everyday to make up the time I wasted. I bought my first house already. I would love to move back and retire in the hills, now its a possibility. I go monthly, and here, at my clinic, (Neptune NJ) they give us 40mg wafers instead of the liquid stuff. It makes it even more easy because i just go get a bottle of pills instead of 28 takehome bottles. Something to consider there maybe? METHADONE SAVES LIVES, BRAVO TO YALL
I also want to say, I just pray that you guys are being liberal with your application of MMT. Most of the federal rules are extremely outdated, especially considering you can get 3 months of suboxone with no supervision at all. From whay i saw in Humboldt and CA, compared to NJ where I was born, raised and live now was incredibly sad. The amount of time and pusbback to the clinic was already a shame. Please do this right. I have never in my life seen desperation like I did in Humboldt. Work with these people, even the ones with co occuring addictions.
