The story here is not really that there are helpless babies who need opiate detoxification right when they are born.
The Globe does do a good job at painting a pathetic picture of new babies on morphine drips.
The real story here is how the government of Ontario has made methadone so readily available for free to drug addicts and how profitable it is for pharmacists to dispense methadone kool-aid to drug addicts.
It's very big business.
The real story is also how many doctors are prescribing opiates to patients and getting them addicted to drugs.
The real story is why 
they continue to renew prescriptions of opiates to pregnant women!
This story makes me sick.
Pity the children, I do-but this is a much bigger story than little micro-druggie infants.
Is there any record of the record-breaking opiate prescribing doctors in Ontario? Is there any record of how much pharmacies and pharmacists stand to make by providing the methadone kool-aid to drug addicts under the guise of "harm reduction"?
This is a billion dollar industry.
The real story is in the comments.
The methadone problem in Ontario is a scam and the College of Physicians and Surgeons in Ontario should see this story not as a success in treating little opiate babies, but rather as a story that reflects their failure to police opiate happy doctors, over-prescribing powerful narcotics without any repercussion or any ability to police the use and redistribution of prescriptions and the drugs themselves.
