Robotic Methadone Tech Not the Answer to Clinics’ Culture of Cruelty

Technology is reshaping the methadone industry, aiming to increase efficiency and profit. Companies like Opio are introducing robotic machines like ZING to speed up the dosing process and reduce nurse turnover. ZING Satellite extends this technology to remote locations, monitored by DEA-approved cameras. While these innovations aim to improve access, they raise concerns about dehumanizing patient care. Despite technological advancements, the root issue lies in the lack of accessible, non-stigmatizing opioid treatment. Ultimately, the focus should shift towards community-based solutions rather than complex and expensive tech fixes like ZING.
