Sure. We have an assessment of inmates who come with addictive properties or who have been known to have been addicted. We run it through a medical check. Basically the program is worked through medical channels. If an offender is deemed to require a substance such as methadone therapy as an alternative to seeking other types of drugs, it will be administered in a very controlled setting.
What happens, essentially, is with methadone the offender attends the nursing area, where he is administered the methadone in a liquid form. He is required to talk immediately after that to ensure that he hasn't hidden the methadone, and he is required then to drink water to ensure that the methadone is taken. Then he is required to sit in the room for 20 minutes under the nurse's supervision, because there have been cases in the past where offenders have actually regurgitated the methadone shortly afterwards.
It's very controlled. Monitoring takes place. Generally speaking, the methadone program is a long-term program, anywhere from one to two years and in some cases even longer than that. Once it's deemed that the addiction properties have been dissatisfied through medical channels, it will be determined to take that off.
