thank you, david z!

In a world where stigma against methadone is rampant, it takes courage to tell your story of recovery. David Z has that courage and hopefully others will feel inspired to do the same -- we need to hear the voices of people who effectively manage their opioid use disorder with methadone.Those stories of recovery are the key to shattering the myths of methadone!
