Methadone Maintenance Treatment

Methadone Maintenance Treatment (MMT) is a medical approach for people with opioid addiction. It involves providing a stable dose of methadone, a long-acting medication, to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opioids like heroin or prescription painkillers. MMT helps individuals stabilize their lives, allowing them to engage in therapy and support services. It's often part of a broader treatment plan that includes counseling and social support, aiming to improve overall health and quality of life while reducing the risks associated with opioid use, such as overdose and infectious diseases.
