Question: Methadone clinic next door?
(Posted by: on 2009-07-17 18:26:11)
Before anyone posts that I already asked this question, I know, I want more answers. Before I got a lot of people who said I was making an uneducated judgment about it. So let me clarify: I moved to the area I'm in because I wanted to get away from all the crap. The area I live in is not rampant with heroin users. The clinic was put in for the people in the inner city, so why can't the clinic be where they are? I know that the people going to the clinic are "rehabilitating " But I have knowen many heroin users and from my experience, they may be trying to rehabilitate today and not tom arrow. How do you know that they aren't using still, even while going to the clinic? And how do you know that those people aren't into some even more destructive habits? I'm just saying that I don't want all of this right in my yard. (I share a parking lot with the clinic now, they just opened last week) All you can hear are people cussing and hanging out in the parking lot. It's annoying. And I'm sorry to say, I don't trust these people. That may sound judgmental, but it's not me using the needles. So I guess even if it is judgmental, I don't care. I have 4 children to look out for, not the heroin addicts. I don't care if their feelings are hurt. My family comes first. I just don't feel right letting my kids outside to play right next to where these users are going. And I understand that they are going there for help. But I also understand that not all of them are really on the road to recovery. I have knowen people that use and when they run out they go to the clinics. I have heard of people shooting up just before they go in. I don't need that here. Everyone acts like I'm an awful person because I don't want to give the recovering addicts a chance, but would you take the chance when it's your family? I just wanted to know how everyone else would feel if a methadone clinic moved into your back yard? And is there anything I can do to get it relocated? |
