Beasley Allen has filed a class action lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Montgomery, Alabama on behalf of a local woman, alleging the Defendants operated “Methadone Clinics” which promised to treat addictions to heroin and prescription drugs by providing detoxification and counseling services. However, patients were instead charged weekly for methadone without receiving treatment to end addiction.
Named Defendants are Colonial Management Group, L.P., Colonial GP, L.P.; and Montgomery Liquidating Professional Corporation d/b/a Montgomery Metro Treatment Center and Gilberto Sanchez, M.D.
According to today’s press release at PR Newswire, Beasley Allen founding shareholder Jere L. Beasley was quoted as saying: “These companies told our client and others that they would help them overcome their drug addictions when, in fact, all they have done is gotten them hooked on methadone. It is nothing more than legalized drug dealing. They should be ashamed of what they have done to a tremendous number of people who trusted and depended on them.”
Headquartered in Montgomery, Alabama, Beasley Allen is comprised of 44 attorneys and more than 200 support staff. Beasley Allen is a national leader in civil litigation, with verdicts and settlements of over $20 billion. Beasley Allen is the largest plaintiff’s law firm in the country whose offices are located in one city.

All I can say is that from 2002 through Spring of 2006 I myself was a patient of the above named clinic. I can guarantee that if this patient wanted to in fact stop taking Methadone all they needed to do was let them know. They would have been placed on a managed detox and monitored. But no one can read anyone else’s mind. If a patient does not speak up how are they to know what it is exactly they want. It is my honest opinion this patient sees a way to which they can make some easy money and are taking the steps to do so.
counseling is provided. But my experience while going to this clinic is that the majority of the patients were reluctant to attend such counseling. Many of them stated they did not have time, or simply thought they needed no such counseling.
I applaud Montgomery Metro Treatment Center. They along with Methadone helped save my life.
At one point when I decided that I wanted to start lowering my daily dose of Methadone, I was allowed to do so at a pace that was comfortable for me. At no time was I told that I had to keep taking Methadone. This lawsuit is a waste of time.
