Lucky us.<br /><br /><br />Thanks Alex.<br />Your clinic has what all clinics should offer ... options. I think this is the key to successful treatment.<br /><br />Heroin Assisted Treatment (HAT) has proven very successful so far but is still only one of many options in the countries that provide it. Sadly, the US has spread so much misinformation and fear that perfectly viable programs like HAT are deemed too radical.<br /><br />I'm sure if your local government was made up of doctors and didn't have to worry about being re-elected, then there may have been a different outcome.<br /><br />Keep up the good work!Terry Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12331435244789111209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5426187053282004467.post-11216764780021823552010-05-18T08:01:35.988+10:002010-05-18T08:01:35.988+10:00It's an approach that we probably won't ev...It's an approach that we probably won't ever be fully comfortable with here in the United States.
