METH CLINIC NOT JUST FOR JUNKIES

Re, Letter to the editor, methadone clinic, March 10

Everyone who takes methadone is not a junkie but when you are at the
Ontario Addiction Treatment Centre Kingston we are all as one.

Some cannot take pills anymore and are on methadone for pain. I've
been on it for four years this April. It's not just about getting our
meth. They have counsellors and Hep C nurses who take care of us. They
give everyone Hep A B C needles and the flu shot.

I have seen a lot of success stories go through that door since I've
been there and some not. We are all taken care of.

You won't find needles here.

You should learn about us before you put us down. If you say no to
OATC, you will have an epidemic on your hands. Lots of people will go
back on drugs.
