ANOTHER OPTION FOR ADDICTS

Re: Michael Platt's July 9 column on the methadone clinic.

Drug replacement programs such as methadone are not the only option 
for drug addicts who seek freedom from active addiction. Narcotics 
Anonymous is a thriving Fellowship in Calgary and around the world 
that provides addicts a way to stop using drugs (including alcohol), 
lose the desire to use drugs, and find a new way of life. Membership 
in NA is free and it works. We are self-supporting by our members and 
do not seek or accept funding from any outside source. We have no 
opinion on methadone or any drug-replacement therapy, but we welcome 
addicts, or those who feel they have a problem with drugs, to come to 
any of our 55 weekly meetings in 18 cities and towns in southern 
Alberta, including 33 weekly meetings in Calgary and area. Times, 
dates, and locations are available to anyone at our website: chinookna.org.
