Some Chilton County people are fighting the opening of a methadone clinic. Clanton's mayor says the clinic will open on Holiday Inn Drive.
In case you are not familiar with a methadone clinic, clients are given the synthetic drug methadone which treats drug addiction.
FOX6 spoke to someone who lives in the neighborhood next to the site. He did not want to be identified, but says that people are scared.
"The clinic is overall going to draw in people that are, I guess, addicted to a drug... just really don’t have a good view of those kind of people coming into our community," said the person.
FOX6 tried to get more information about the clinic and why it is needed in Clanton. We tried contacting the person who wants to open it, but have not gotten a response yet.
