Dr. Josiah Rich, a Soros Advocacy Fellow, was featured in a September 5, 2004, Providence Journal article. Dr. Rich, an associate professor at Miriam Hospital, helps run Project MOD (Methadone Opiate Dependency), which provides heroin users leaving prison with free methadone to ease drug cravings and to break the well-tread cycle of relapse. “It is highly effective in reducing criminal behavior and HIV and improving health,” Rich says.
