Has methadone treatment been easily accepted in London?
It has been accepted - by some groups and for different reasons.

It has been accepted by the patients who need methadone treatment - and it has been embraced by some of the people who work locally in addiction treatment. Physicians send along patients with whom they are having difficulty.

But many people still have negative attitudes towards methadone - and its history as a ‘last chance’ option for heroin addiction. It carries a bad reputation - especially to those who are ill informed as to its potential for benefit - or with those who reject people on methadone treatment for no good cause.
