How Best to Help Heroin Addicts

https://www.flickr.com/photos/dkalo/

Suboxone and methadone and the debate about how best to help those trying to treat a heroin addiction. The LePage administration proposed ending the use of methadone as a MaineCare benefit, claiming suboxone is a better, and cheaper, option to methadone clinics. We'll hear from a doctor and a treatment center operator who disagree. And we'll hear from the medical director of MaineCare who supports the switch.

Guests:  Dr. Kevin Flanigan, medical director of MaineCare
Martin O'Brien, founder of Grace Street Services LLC
Dr. Meredith Norris, family physician in Kennebunk, ME
