  • Methadone and the Anti-Medication Bias in Addiction Treatment
    White, W. & Coon, B. (2003). Methadone and the anti-medication bias in addiction treatment. Counselor 4(5): 58-63. Methadone and the Anti-medication Bias in Addiction Treatment William L. White, MA and Brian F. Coon, MA, CADC An Introductory Note: This article is long overdue. Like many addiction counselors personally and professionally rooted in the therapeutic community and Minnesota model programs of the 1960s and 1970s, I exhibited a rabid animosity toward methadone and protected these beliefs in a shell of blissful ignorance. That began to change in the late 1970s when a new mentor, Dr. Ed Senay, gently suggested that the great passion I expressed on the subject of methadone seemed to be in inverse proportion to my knowledge about methadone. I hope this article will serve as a form of amends for that ignorance and arrogance. (WLW) There is a deeply entrenched anti-medication bias within the field of addiction treatment. This bias is historically rooted in the iatrogenic insults that have resulted from attempts to treat drug addiction with drugs. The most notorious of these professional practices includes: coaching alcoholics to substitute wine and beer for distilled spirits, treating alcoholism and morphine addiction with cocaine and cannabis, switching alcoholics from alcohol to morphine, failing repeatedly to find an alcoholism vaccine, employing aversive agents that linked alcohol or morphine to the experience of suffocation and treating alcoholism with drugs that later emerged as problems in their own right, e.g., barbiturates, amphetamines, tranquilizers, and LSD. A history of harm done in the name of good culturally and professionally imbedded a deep distrust of drugs in the treatment of alcohol and other drug addiction (White, 1998).

This report demonstrates the growing popularity of bikesharing in WNY and was The SMI and Reddy teams took a group ride to created with the intent to thank our riders, to inform and engage with our community, as the Outer Harbor during golden hour on a late summer’s night, something we do often to bond. well as to recognize our partners that help make everything we do possible. Partnering with Independent Health again in 2020 helped us to elevate the program to more of the community at a time when it was really needed. Together with Independent Health, we are focused on fi nding ways for our communities to get and stay healthy and connected in 2021. Biking is a great way to prioritize your health and well-being. After enduring a challenging year, our team appreciates self-care and well-being more than we ever have. A 222% increase in riders tells us that a rapidly increasing number of Western New Yorkers would agree that Reddy bikes are fun and support overall wellness. As champions of biking, we know that bikes also serve a holistic good – our collective public health, a greener environment, they support small business, and they make people happy. Scientists, health experts, urban planners, small businesses and community associations all agree – biking can be transformational.
