We brought a lawsuit in 2004 on behalf of a methadone treatment provider, New Directions Treatment Services, which had been prevented from opening a facility in Reading, Pa., as well as residents with opiate addiction and in need of treatment. After the district court dismissed the case, the Third Circuit Court of Appeals overturned the dismissal and struck down the Pennsylvania statute in 2007.
