In Dayton, Ohio hundreds of addicts will now have to pay for their opiate detox.
"So basically the way I look at it you're just putting addicts back on the street and you watch the news in the mornings and the evenings and there's already so many robberies," said one anonymous client.
That client and hundreds more in the community are now having to pay $2 a day, up to $12 each week for doses of methadone known as an opiate agonist. The addicts go to Project C.U.R.E. in Dayton for their doses in their fight to beat addictions to heroin and prescription drugs.
"We're the last free opiate agonist clinic in Ohio, now we're the cheapest," said Clinical Director Dwight Richard.
Richard said Project C.U.R.E. needs a new building to meet the increased demand for their services, but there is no money for that at the moment.
