Pharmacists Call More Help With Methadone Program

The need is there for more provincial pharmacists to be in the methadone program.

That call from two pharmacists, one in Devon and the other in Saint John.


Pharmacist Sean Luck of the Guardian Drugs on Loch Lomond Road tells CHSJ News it took a tragedy to change his mind about the program.
He says he was like everyone else and he thought methadone users are on the street, doing drugs, dirty and they steal but, after he lost a patient to suicide it really opened my eyes.
Of the 200 pharmacies in the province, only 50 are participating in the methadone program.
