Addiction to heroin and other opioids poses serious problems for communities, families, and individuals. Solutions sometimes seem uncertain, difficult, and controversial.

During more than 40 years since its development, methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) has helped millions of persons in recovery from opioid addiction; allowing them to improve their health, redeem their family and social lives, hold down steady jobs or return to school, and generally become productive tax-paying citizens in their communities. Yet, the merits and effectiveness of addiction treatment in general and MMT in particular have not been universally understood and accepted.

This booklet focuses on the evidence-based conclusions and educated commentary of credible sources to provide a current and balanced perspective on the treatment of opioid addiction with methadone.
