The Coalition for Methadone Choice is attempting to
prevent Mayor Giuliani from ‘detoxing’ more than 2000 patients and threatening
treatment for thousands more.

We are looking for:

               
Methadone maintenance patients to participate in public education and/or
lobbying.

               
Patients at city-run programs to join in legal efforts to save their treatment.

               
Anyone who has any factual information about the city’s plans.

 

Please call Holly Catania at 212-548-0165

    Policy Statement Number 4 May 1994 Over the years methadone providers and patients have begun using client in place of patient.
