Nothing changes, all the competing forces that create the situation maintain it. It's a great place to get hooked up with fellow addicts if one is new in town. Plus methadone is a particularly nasty drug to withdraw from, along with other problematic drugs that are prescribed, eventually. Much harder than heroin. It used to be that 100mg methadone was a barrier that was hard to pass, but anymore I'm lead to believe it is quite common to be well into the 300-500mg range. In terms of long term customers, when one is taking 400mg of methadone to stay well, the price of detox is at least a year of withdrawal process, and it is not recommended. Few would attempt such a thing. Very much the every problem is a nail syndrome, plus a comfortable income to the establishment. It has it's place I suppose. Most people don't recover and that has to color ones attitude, being exposed day after day a constant flow of human failures, and a certain amount of cynicism is understandable. ARS
