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.
