Abstract

Last week in Baltimore, in a hotel across the street from the conference center of the American Association for the Treatment of Opioid Dependence, a staffer shared some reflections on methadone with us. He said he knew too many people who were taking methadone in an OTP and supplementing with street drugs they bought for $1, and that he believed treating trauma and learning humility were equally important as the medication. He supported overdose prevention centers as safe places for drug users to go. And he credited Narcotics Anonymous for helping many people get to know themselves, and come out healthy. Just another view from the real world.
