"It's a controversial treatment given to addicted inmates at MDC, and with methadone set to cost taxpayers even more in the coming months, some are calling for an end to the program.But one doctor says\u00A0that wouldn't be the best decision.The cost to continue the program, which helps about 90 people, will soar from $10,000 to $38,000 a month.That's why leaders at MDC want to drop it altogether.\"I think if people get out of jail and they've got withdrawals and cravings, they're much more likely to go back to doing crimes\u00A0than if they're being treated in a program where they're being treated,\" said Dr. Laura Stern.Bernalillo County Commissioners are expected to discuss the program in the coming months."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
