Methadone clinic slated for converted Dundalk home

Baltimore County officials? support for a proposed methadone clinic in Dundalk indicates why the government should win its legal case against a similar facility in Pikesville, officials say.

The county does not plan to fight a state-granted license that allows a Baltimore City man to convert a Dundalk home into a methadone clinic, where he will treat heroin addicts with a synthetic narcotic, because it?s in a manufacturing zone, county spokesman Don Mohler said. The county is appealing a federal court ruling that overturned a law banishing medical clinics from residential areas, where a Pikesville center is located.
