The clinic was only recently
granted a license by the depart-
ment of Health, Education and
Welfare to dispense the drug to
addicts for a long period of time.
Methadone on a short term basis
is available from doctors who can
legally prescribe it.
As treatment for heroin addic-
tion,hmethadone is designed to
switch the user from addiction to
heroin to addiction to the new
and more easily controllable drug.
Methadone is taken orally, and
the patient can be given increas-
ingly smaller doses - and event-
ually none - without suffering the
classic symptoms of withdrawal
from heroin.
The new drug alleviates an ad-
dict's desire for a high by in-
ducing one which is not as potent
as that induced by heroin. Con-
sequently, the physiological needs
of the patient are largely taken
care of, but he is able to function
more easily under the new high
than under the heroin one.
