Those struggling with drug addictions in the city will have a new uptown spot to go for methadone.
Health Minister Mike Murphy says the improved access to methadone will allow those who need treatment to get it faster.
Murphy says the four doctors working 57 hours a month at Ridgewood have had their hours increased to 66 ---which will allow more methadone to be prescribed.
The Department of Health will be funding a nurse practitioner and providing office space for a clinic at the Mercantile Centre on Union Street.
