New Blog – Study: Methadone Clinics Don’t Bring Crime to Neighborhoods

In a well-designed study published online ahead of print in Addiction, March 2, 2012, investigators compared data from a computer listing of all FBI reports of serious crimes in specific areas of Baltimore: methadone treatment centers, convenience stores, residential points, and general medical hospitals. The study team found no significant increase in crime around methadone treatment centers or general hospitals-but it did find significantly higher crime counts close to convenience stores.

The authors note that the finding “should lead to greater availability of methadone maintenance treatment for the many persons who need it.”
