SOS gave a fact-based presentation, with sources, on the effects MAT (medication assisted treatement ) clinics have on hosting communities.
MAT proponents’ repeated statements that those facts are lies do not change the facts.
Do the research.
Attempts to malign concerned citizens’ motives by those who ignore the consequences of a regional MAT in Sequim are using bully tactics.
We want addicts to get help, not use them as a money-making commodity.
How can you justify importing hundreds of addicts to a town that has a shortage of doctors and no emergency room when surrounding communities have hundreds of openings minutes from Sequim?
Our neighbors would be best served by their own doctors.
Jamestown Medical Clinic claims 80 percent success rate. With those stats why would our neighbors go elsewhere?
Why invite a population that will overcrowd Sequim services and take resources from Sequim residents?
