I'm not sure "cure" is the right word because I don't really think you are ever completely cured of an addiction, but the help these folks get at these clinics gets them out of rock bottom and back into society. They give these patients their life back.
The clinics here in Alberta are not the same as the safe injection clinics in Vancouver. Methadone supresses the need for the other drugs. It gives the person a fighting chance to get off of the junk. Without it many addicts would stay that way, as addicts.
