Dr. Barry Cullen:

I would say so for alcohol primarily. With methadone, as per Dr. Healy’s research, it illustrates that people are still perceived as in the criminal system.

A previous speaker mentioned sitting in the emergency department and how people were probably getting a bit cheesed off that drug users were presenting for treatment that might inhibit their capacity for treatment. We do not feel that about alcohol at all and we never ask that question when a huge amount of what is coming through emergency departments is alcohol related.
