Methadone Treatment: NIMBYUTUBE
Methadone Treatment: NIMBYUTUBE
ICAAT has produced a video addressing the “not-in-my-backyard” (NIMBY) phenomenon – probably the greatest barrier to meaningful expansion of methadone treatment availability in America. Throughout the USA, and in many other nations as well, efforts to open new addiction treatment facilities are met with fierce opposition based on fear of resultant crime and a general deterioration of the neighborhood. This film highlights the patients, staff and services of a methadone maintenance treatment clinic operating since 1974 in a church building in the heart of residential and commercial Greenwich Village, NYC. We hope that the film promotes a greater understanding of methadone maintenance treatment, its patients and providers.
