For Professionals (Medical, Nursing, CADC, LCADC)

Methadone maintenance treatment is a medically recognized pharmacotherapy that, when combined with counselling and other psychosocial supports, is the gold standard treatment for opioid addiction.
Methadone is a long-acting opioid that helps manage cravings and alleviates symptoms of withdrawal. That means people on methadone are less inclined to resort to risky or criminal behavior in order to satisfy their addiction.
Methadone maintenance treatment helps patients return to healthy and productive lives.
