Methadone Maintenance Treatment (MMT) is a comprehensive treatment program that involves the long-term prescribing of methadone for the treatment of opioid dependence/addiction.

MMT has been used for nearly 50 years to bring life back to those suffering from addiction to opioids such as oxycodone (OxyContin® or Percocet®), fentanyl, hydromorphone (Dilaudid®), heroin, morphine, codeine, etc.

Tolerance to methadone develops slowly, so clients can be maintained in MMT indefinitely. If it is prescribed properly, methadone is considered medically safe as a treatment for opioid dependence/addiction.
