Well I did read the article and I understand any frustrations. I hate that I am shadowboxing a whole State of people, (I am not criticizing them at all) but Vermontarians are noted for their Homeopathic approaches and if the Doctor could get with a few homeopathic partners such as offer an array of herbal remedies or a Smoothie/Vegetarian Cafe of sorts in said clinic maybe he would become more appreciated. (Just a thought) As we all know, almost every town when hit with the idea of a suboxone or methadone clinic, the townspeople’s’ hair rise on the back of their necks. I live in a very small town in Western North Carolina and I drive to Asheville (an hour away) for MMT. I know methadone clinics are viewed even harsher than suboxone clinics and if suboxone really worked for me I would choose it, but nonetheless, I get help for the same disease suboxone clients do. I understand this Doctors rationale in why maybe he said one thing that left me questioning him so to say but his comment “Those who wish to use the clinic will have to undergo a rigorous screening process, which will include a criminal background checkâ€? seems to be writing a check his butt can’t cash, unless of course, he is going to treat only school teachers and police officers. I mean really I am on his side. I think that these people are crazy for not already having a local clinic so to say. Opiate Abuse is climbing statistical heights at a rapid pace. But…If he wants to use the best advantage point a “wanna be a clinic ownerâ€? uses i.e. Opening a clinic cuts the criminal activity down in the town and surrounding areas, then he might want to rethink saying he will be screening (criminal backgrounds) and making admissions accordingly. Otherwise I say Hats off to the Doctor and I hope his clinic plans are a success
