“Because of heroin, we lost everything,” JC Marin said. “I wish I could go back in time and slap it out of my hands. We can’t fix what we messed up.” In 2013, JC and his partner, Melissa Neilson, lost custody of their kids. Now, they travel more than an hour every day from Copiague, Long Island, to a #methadone clinic in Brooklyn. The taxi ride costs them time, but not money: It’s covered by Medicaid. More than 30,000 patients like JC and Melissa are enrolled in New York City’s approximately 70 methadone-based treatment programs. For recovering users who lack financial stability or private health insurance, these clinics are the first and only option to get their lives on track. But those with money can use an alternate treatment, a medication called buprenorphine. Many hoped that it could mean an end to the daily hurdles to receiving treatment: no additional commute, no security check, no line for a plastic cup. But in NYC, opioid addiction treatment is demarcated by income. @ryanchristopherjones took this photo of Melissa and JC kissing goodbye at home. Inside the house, he photographed the shadow of a former painting; Melissa said it was of her son, but she couldn’t bear to display it any longer.
