Swallow THIS: A Documentary About Methadone and COVID-19

FREE Admission

Swallow THIS: A Documentary About Methadone and COVID-19 reveals what happened in methadone clinics during the pandemic. Federal agencies lifted onerous restrictions on take-home doses and everyone was eligible for 14 or 28 days of medication. No more standing in line six days a week to drink methadone. It was FREEDOM!

Directors Marilena Marchetti and Helen Redmond documented the impact of this unprecedented change. In interviews with patients, staff, and drug-user activists from Connecticut to Tennessee, the new take-homes policy was adopted unevenly and then ended.

Join the directors, New York Times best selling author Beth Macy (Dopesick, Raising Lazarus) and a person who takes methadone for a panel discussion after the screening.
