OPINION | Harlem is saturated with methadone
If NYS and NYC officials are committed to rooting out systemic racism, they must also commit to distributing social services equitably, @GreaterHarlem's Syderia Asberry-Chresfield and @tetshill write.

@MountSinaiNYC to move 60 CARES high school students w mental health & substance abuse issues (district 79) to 1 block w 3 methadone clinics, drug arrests. Bureaucrats win, NYC students lose. @NYCSchools@DOEChancellor please investigate & walk @W124th to witness. @greaterharlem
@NYGovCuomo, yes for vaccine equity! Question: why being black or low income means your school surrounded by more drug treatment and methadone clinics than white, affluent? #Harlem serves opioid addicts from Staten Isl and Queens b/c @NYSOASAS oversaturates #Harlem @NYSenBenjamin
@NYGovCuomo@DianaAyalaNYC Andrew Cuomo, it is also racism for you to over saturated Harlem with 18% of New York City’s methadone clinics. Data indicates that at most Harlem only needs 6-8%. We urge @NYOASAS and @NYSenBenjamin and @HelenRosenthal to address racialism
@DianaAyalaNYC Yes be humane...by reducing excess density of drug treatmt clinics in #harlem - 75% patients not frm #harlem... by providing adequate healthcare to patients in Queens & Staten I... by not making patients travel hours to #Harlem for treatmnt @greaterharlem@nysoasas
The noise GHC made to the Mayor seemed to have yielded some improvements on 125th Street. That said, we need to persist to demand a long term solution from @NYOASAS to reduce the number of patients going to this small area for substance abuse treatment.
#redliningharlem#inequity
@NYSOASAS Young people need treatment near home not travel long distances out of treatment deserts (Queens, Staten Island) into oversaturated hotspots like #W124th#Harlem where drug dealers ambush them
@MountSinaiNYC @mountsinaihealthsystem @InstAdvancedMed @NYOASAS is harming youth
@NYSOASAS@OASAS please study the maps revealing treatment deserts & oversaturated zones like Harlem. OASAS is medically redlining Harlem. Oversaturation hurts struggling communities & the patients you are paid to protect. Study the maps. #FairShareForHarlem#GreaterHarlem
Methadone clinics of @addictionservices @BethIsreal@NYSOASAS in #Harlem#W124th must implement safe dispensing protocols & prevent patients from clustering before & after treatment. Retweet, ask what local officials doing to stop extremely dangerous situation @NYPD28Pct?
@bnymellon please distance bank from Atlah Cult https://t.co/woYjKMzBlq hate group. "Stoning Fags" and other horror-inducing signs by cult leader. No negotiation Dec 6. Let it collapse wo Mellon support @greaterharlem@galeabrewer @NYSenBenjamin @NYCMayorsOffice@ScottMStringer
Fact: @MountSinaiNYC Institute @158#W124th st plans school https://t.co/G2meFCfIW3 for 60 students struggling w subst abuse on same block as 3 THREE methadone clinics INSIDE same CLINIC w 2500 adult addiction psychiatry patients. @NYCschools bad deal for students. @GreaterHarlem
@MountSinaiNYC proposes Inst. Adv. Medicine @158#W124th yards from methadone madness in video. 100s more drug-vulnerable patients proposed weekly as 28th precinct braces for more predatory illegal drug activity caused by clustered addiction services. Who advocates for community?
