Official say the move was made out of health concern for inmates. The
methadone program was initiated at the MDC by the New Mexico Department of
Health in 2006. Officials say pregnant women will continue to receive methadone
through their pregnancies.
Methadone is a synthetic opioid that is used as part

I think this is great news. My sister was a heroin addict, and they treated her habit with methadone. She became addicted to that instead and suffered methadone withdrawal when she tried to kick that. It was completely miserable, and it felt like the "cure" was just as bad as the addiction. My sister is still struggling, but she finally is sober.
