'Methadone treatment "too expensive" for most addicts'
A new report has found the cost of methadone programs is too high for most heroin addicts.The full article is at ABC News, here.
The Federal Government funds methadone treatment, but most pharmacies charge a $60 dispensing fee.
The RMIT University study found the fee was a barrier for many heroin users wanting to kick the habit.
Report author Dr James Rowe says the Government subsidises dispensing fees for most other medications.

I have been having a wonderful week, but it has also been very difficult and pretty exhausting. So I hope it ends up being wonderful overall.
