Opioid crisis renews focus on expanding access to methadone treatment

DAVID FRANK, Research Scientist, NYU:

The very first day, I went to my methadone clinic, and I had taken my first dose, I was walking back to my apartment, and I was like, my God, I’m not going to get dope-sick today. And I’m not going to have to do any of the stuff I have to do every day to alleviate that dope sickness. And not only that, they’re going to give me another dose tomorrow.
