You can bash clinics all you want, but this place saved my life. I'm so thankful for all the staff, including the nurses. They are wonderful, caring people. The best clinic in Wichita by a long shot. I'm even ready to start getting myself off of the medication because I've become so strong mentally and can finally say I'm strong enough to conquer this on my own. I wouldn't have been able to do that before going here.

I have been a drug addict for 33 years & an alcoholic all my life because I was born into a family of alcoholics. I have done every drug from pot, LSD, mushrooms, ketamine, meth, cocaine, pills, & ended up to heroin. And throughout this drinking an 18 pack of beer & a bottle of liquor. I worked & I worked hard at my job. Within the last 10 years my job started being affected because my main job was finding drugs. About 10 yrs ago my wife & I had a huge blowout I had about 9 bags of heroin in me & half bottle of liquor. As my wife was leaving me & taking our kids away from the fight I punched through a plate glass window & slit my throat Oct 30, 2006. I got out by promising the staff at Good Shepherd I would start treatment that monday. As my word I was at treatment that Monday. I went through treatment & was clean 15 months. At this time my wife was still using pills. We went to a different facility & they treated us like gold. I got tired of going everyday so I quit cold turkey but in time I relapsed & we heard about Matrix Center. We were 1 of the 1st patients there. Now 7 years later we started noticing when you started doing better in life, getting a job, passing UA's they would start messing with you. Since Oct of 2016 until February 26 2018 I was on weekly UA's which added $480 a year to my program. My counselor owns the clinic & I saw him maybe 10 times in 7 years. There has been a nurse that has hated me since she started named Gail that told other employees that was told to me that she will get me kicked out & lose my job. And in the 7 yrs we have been there we have spent over $47,000 & if you talk to anyone that goes there the staff looks down on us. And now I have a restraining order on me. So before you think about methadone being a saviour, it is the devil.

I started out downtown and was completely miserable. That clinic was guaranteeing that I was going to continue to drug seek. Fortunately I found and transferred to the Matrix Center. I feel some hope. The councilors are great and the nurses are awesome. I never feel like I'm less of a person. For that I must thank the staff!
Thanx!

To be honest, this review in NO way reflects my opinion on the clinic as a whole; it is strictly based on the nursing staff. I have NEVER been made to feel like such a low life for being an addict & actually wanting to get help. So a big shout out to Gail for that....... Thanks!!! If you do not want to work with people that are NOT on your social level, find a different field to work in, just a thought.

Fabulous place. The best methadone clinic in Wichita, hands down. Nothing like the other methadone clinics at all. It's always nice and clean inside also.
