USA. Woman who sued DuPage County to receive methadone in jail as treatment for opioid addiction will get her meds
DuPage County officials agreed to provide methadone to a recovering opioid user who is serving a month in jail, federal court records indicate.
Christine Finnigan, 53, sued the county last month for an assurance she could receive her medication once she entered jail to serve a 30-day sentence for drunken driving. She has been on methadone since 2019 to help her combat a long-standing opioid addiction. (Chicago Tribune, USA, 26.02.2021)
