From 2003 to 2005, CRC grew its methadone operation by about 130 percent, with annual opiate revenues reaching almost $84 million, which equaled 40 percent of CRC's sales in 2005.hil Herschman, who now oversees CRC's methadone operations, says that in most of the markets in which CRC operates clinics there is competition, but other methadone clinic investors point out that, in many markets, clinics operate as monopolies.
