WARREN, Maine — The planning board is scheduled to hold a public hearing on a proposed methadone clinic at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 2, at the Warren Community School.
The board will hear comments from the public on the plan by CRC Healthcare for its clinic at 1642 Atlantic Highway.
CRC Healthcare filed its application with the town and Warren has until mid-March to give it a thumbs up or down. The company has been battling the town since the fall of 2010 and was involved in a lawsuit against the town. The suit was filed after Warren refused to let the clinic purchase a piece of land from the town. The clinic claimed this was a violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act.

Methadone represented less than 5% of prescribed opiates but was attributed to 1/3 of all opiate related deaths. A dose that is theraputic for one person may be lethal to another person. Methadones unique properties make it unforgiving and sometimes lethal. There were 5500 methadone related deaths in 2007. For more information, please visit http://www.stopmethadonedeaths.com.
