Dr. Giles & the tech bros are all about extracting profit from pts who take methadone. Remote supervision exploits pts desperate to not dose daily. It moves witnessed dosing via big brother surveillance into the home. Exploitation 4 $ @sonarahealth_ is disgusting #freemethadone.

@LiloStainton @sonarahealth_ @NJDHS @NJSpotlightNews More flexible methadone access is a win—but surveillance-based systems can reinforce stigma + control, not trust or care. People deserve autonomy, not a digital probation officer. Let’s push for low-barrier, patient-centered models that treat people with dignity.

Warden Mark Parrino @AATOD1984 doesn't want to take the liquid handcuffs off prisoners in opioid treatment PRISONS. He doesn't want them to get a script from a doctor & pick it up at the pharmacy. Parrino loves the status quo & DEA @FreeMethadone @abolishOTPs.
