Product Description
With her Master of Social Work diploma still fresh in her hands, Rachel Greene Baldino embarked on a year-long journey as a new professional in a methadone clinic. Her personal account of that year offers an eye-opening glimpse into a place some call 'methadonia'. For those who have been involved with heroin addiction or methadone treatment, either professionally or personally, a journey through 'methadonia' is a trip they'll never forget. The sights, sounds, smells, and emotions found in such a place are described, and Baldino's honest and open feelings about the work and the people at the clinic are explored. Recommendations for changes to the treatment system are made, and a glossary of key terms associated with heroin addiction and treatment is provided.
