That's always a nice, tidy way to test the local community's organizational skills. Storms of protest met the administrators of the hospital. Citizens were concerned about the characteristics that typically come along with inviting heroin addicts into your community, even ones that are seeking treatment. So Bangor saw their version of NIMBYISM, with citizens wanting to keep the methadone treatment center out. The citizens lost, and the treatment center opened. And, once the precedent had been set, two additional methadone clinics followed suit. I spent a week in Maine this summer, in beautiful Booth Bay Harbor, Bucksport, and the stunning Acadia National Park outside of Bar Harbor. I didn't see a lot of drug trafficking going on. Lobster rolls? Yes. Heroin? Didn't see it. But apparently it is there. Enough to support three methadone clinics in Bangor alone. But despite the fact that there hasn't been an influx of the types of trouble that fueled citizens' fears in 2000, Bangor decided they had done enough . With three methadone clinics now operating here, many local officials think Bangor has done more than its share to ensure that those who need it have access to treatment for addiction to opiates. The main problem, as Bangor residents see it, is that surrounding communities are taking advantage of Bangor's willingness to have the clinics. Cities such as Ellsworth and Brewer have been recently enacted ordinances that effectively make it impossible for methadone clinics to open locally. Bangor, once fearful of the problems that methadone clinics might bring, is now afraid that their city will become Maine's "dumping ground" for heroin addiction treatment facilities. The proposals considered by the council in Bangor would limit the number of facilities at three and cap the number of patients who could receive treatment at the current levels. During debate Tuesday, City Manager Edward Barrett said he didn't think (the) proposal would limit anyone's ability to get treatment. "I don't see this as us closing the door," he said. "I see this as us saying let's look at what the best solution is for people who needs this treatment, and in some cases, this may mean a clinic in Ellsworth, a clinic in Rockland, or a clinic in Millinocket." Except there aren't any treatment centers in Ellsworth, Rockland or Millinocket. But overall, I can't blame Bangor too much. A willingness to have methadone clinics, alcohol treatment facilities and mental health centers within a community is a difficult - but necessary - step a community should take. But that doesn't mean you have to have one on every corner. The real problem is when local communities take advantage of another's community's open-mindedness by showing how close-minded they could be.

Mon, 11 Aug 2008 20:02:35 GMT http://www.wikio.com/search/Acadia?rinfoid=67412661 2008-08-11T20:02:35Z http://www.wikio.com/search/Acadia?rinfoid=67436989 Subtitle: "Blood On The Bike" I'm back from vacation. Roy's been posting about his camping experience in Maine and by pure coincidence I also planned my summer vacation to Acadia National Park. I called Roy and tried to catch up with him, but for the most part I didn't have cell phone coverage when I was there. Let me start by saying: it was wet. More than wet, it was a deluge that first day. The tent held up with only mild dampness, but I knew I was in trouble when a park ranger stopped me on the way back from my hike to warn me to take shelter. He said there were 60 mile per hour winds predicted, with lightening and hail. Yes, it was wet. There wasn't any hail and the wind wasn't that bad, but we did get three waves of lightening storms through the night. Since it couldn't get any worse, I went for a swim in the ocean in the rain. Cold truly can be painful, and that water was frigid. Day Two was drizzly and overcast, but clear enough to ride bikes. I made it up Cadillac Mountain (1500 foot elevation) at all of about 4.5 miles per hour. It took about an hour to get to the top, but the ride down was fantastic. I had to keep braking the whole way down to keep from flying off the edge of the switchbacks. I was at the bottom in about seven minutes. Day Three finally gave us a break in the weather, enough to get some hiking and more biking time, as well as a nice sunburn sitting on Sand Beach. The most unique part of the whole trip was the climb up Mount Champlain. Now, this climb is optimistically referred to as the Precipice Trail but it's not a hike by any stretch of the imagination. It's pure rock climbing. There's a sign at the bottom of the mountain that warns people not to bring children up because people have died on the climb. I was too busy trying not to slip, digging my fingernails into solid rock, that I didn't take any pictures. Besides, I knew some other brave or foulhardy soul with better photography skills had probably already put some pictures up on Flickr so here is a link to those pictures of the Precipice Trail . (It's steeper than it looks in the pictures.) I've never been so terrified. There are iron rungs you can climb, but what they don't tell you is that when you're as short as I am there is sometimes a gap between rung sets that requires you to traverse over a narrow sloping ledge that hovers over a steep plummet. By the time I got back to the base I wanted to shout "You're all going to die!" to anyone starting up the trail. I resisted. By this time I was dirty, sunburned, sore and needed a hot shower. Badly. Thank goodness for Isle Au Haut. More specifically, for the Inn at Isle Au Haut . It's beautiful but isolated, and you can only get there by mail ferry. Innkeeper Diana Santospago took me in, tucked me into an amazingly soft bed and then fed me incredibly good food for two days. I had sea scallops with cream sauce, squash fritters, mushroom onion soup, soft-shelled lobster, stuffed squash, triple chocolate cake surprise (you have to guess the surprise), as well as hand-packed lunches for the day trips. I wasn't surprised to learn I had gained a couple pounds while camping in spite of the 1500 foot bike ride up the mountain, the climb up Mount Champlain, and the 50 mile ride I took after I got back to Acadia. The Inn was a perfect break even for a seasoned camper. The side trip to Isle Au Haut was rounded off nicely by a stop at Black Dinah's chocolate shop where I took shelter from yet another downpour. (Well OK, the truffles were a good reason to stop, too. They were delicious, not to mention quite beautiful.) I was treated to a short game of Scrabble to while away the time until the ferry took me back to the mainland. OK, so to tie this in to psychiatry---this is a psychiatry blog, right'---I have to mention that I didn't really 'get away from it all'. During one breakfast stop I couldn't help overhearing the man at the next table explaining to his party what the Mini-Mental State Exam was and what it was used for. And at the Inn, one of the other people staying at the Inn while I was there was a psychiatrist. It's a wierd, small world but fortunately still a protected and well-tended one at Acadia National Park. ----- Listen to our latest podcast at mythreeshrinks.com or subscribe to our rss feed .
