USA. What Can We Learn From the Nation’s First 24/7 Methadone Clinic?
In October 2017, Community Medical Services (CMS), an Arizona-based addiction treatment provider, opened America’s first medication-assisted treatment (MAT) clinic that operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It’s a level of accessibility that will sound almost unimaginably helpful to anyone used to organizing their life around restricted clinic hours.
The first-of-its-kind program, which offers methadone, buprenorphine and naltrexone among other services, is located in North Phoenix near I-17—an area where drug fatality rates are among the highest in the state. (Filter, USA, 20.06.2019)
