Methadone Treatment in PEI
Reggie was on a methadone maintenance program with the PEI Addictions. Reggie wrote in one of his journals [about a nurse], “I hate her, I hate her, I hate her!” Anyway, this day in late November, I saw him driving in the yard and he went right to the basement.
I went right down and he had his two hands on his forehead and he would not speak to me. I knew there was something seriously wrong. Helen came right down and he told her that they were stopping his methadone. Their reason was he was accused of missing an appointment. Friday was his day to see them in Charlottetown and they claim they told him to shift to Tuesday and he never came until Friday. Charlottetown got Souris Addictions on his case and for a few days they both put the gears to him and we could see him change.
He could not exist without methadone, and the sad thing about this, nine months later we found 6 full bottles that he had purchased the dad before he left Ontario and put it in the basement, where he had hid it from himself.
