Second Chance says Calgary is a city that won't embrace an addictions treatment centre. The clinic's lawyer says upset Braeside residents took their anger further than just a crowded town hall meeting. He says staff at the clinic were scared. He says staff were threatened with damage to the clinic or their vehicles.

AADAC runs a methadone program and will take over patient care for as many possible but even with added resources the program can't accommodate all who require treatment.

Kelly Eby is with the Alberta College of Physicians & Surgeons. "Some patients will be able to travel to Lethbridge or Red Deer because they are on a low dose and only need to go in once a month, but some are much more serious and need to be seen regularly and we're hopeful AADAC can pick up those patients."
