Comments on: Cecil County Primary Care Clinic Caught in Crossfire of New Law Aimed at Limiting Drug Treatment https://ceciltimes.com/2012/01/cecil-county-primary-care-clinic-caught-in-crossfire-of-new-law-aimed-at-limiting-drug-treatment/ News and Views for Cecil County and the Eastern Shore of Maryland Fri, 25 Nov 2022 14:21:21 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=4.2.38 By: Al Reasin https://ceciltimes.com/2012/01/cecil-county-primary-care-clinic-caught-in-crossfire-of-new-law-aimed-at-limiting-drug-treatment/#comment-4610 Fri, 20 Jan 2012 20:54:55 +0000 https://ceciltimes.com/?p=1964#comment-4610 As I have written before, the commissioners were given information on the very narrow Baltimore County ordinance that was tested in the 4th Federal Court of Appeals. It withstood the scrutiny of the court except for its applicability for unlimited retroactive enforcement. Today I checked with the Baltimore County counsel who provided me the information, who I had presented as the contact point, and was told, to his knowledge, no one from Cecil County had contacted him but me.

I have provided the same information to an Elkton resident who wrote me that he presented it to the town council on Thursday, 1/19/12. Hopefully the Elkton town council will produce a narrow structured ordinance that protects the property rights and safety of citizens without unduly burdening medical facilities such as West Cecil.

Bringing your personal opinion into politics always results in bad decisions. Doctors are “for profit,” but are not considered a harm to the community. Many doctors, pharmacies, hospitals and hospices use methadone in their therapies, but when you are treating a “targeted” population, you are treated like the criminal in the community.

Having a public official use this as a way to get her name into a political race has brought much harm to the community.

If anyone that gives methadone to a “part” of the population be called a “methadone clinic,” like it is a “shooting gallery,” we will need to closed every doctors office, pharmacy, nursing home, hospice center, and then the hospital itself. No one will want to seek drug free treatment when these public official have called a comprehensive treatment program a “meth clinic.”

Wake up, Cecil County voters.
