METHADONE DOESN'T HELP ADDICTS, FAMILIES

Clinic

I hope readers will support me in fighting the methadone clinic to be
operated in Fantasy Harbour.

I have a niece whose husband took his life this past Thanksgiving week.
Brian has been a client of a methadone clinic for several years. This type
of clinic does not help family, friends and/or neighbors. It contributes to
their dependence to drugs. Had Brian been put into a hospital or some other
type of care unit, he might be alive today. We all believed that methadone
was to help him kick the habit in the beginning. What a sad awakening - his
habit only got worse, and now my niece is a widow at 30. He was a very
bright young man who got hooked on drugs - his habit forced him to steal
from family and friends.Please, Myrtle Beach, let's fight this. We do not
need to send our family and friends to an early grave. Let's get them the
help they need; and that is not a methadone clinic.
