Methadone Maintenance Therapy is a program designed to treat clients who are dependent on opiates.  The goal of the program is to reduce the harms associated with opiate abuse while providing access to methadone, counselling and primary healthcare.

Methadone is a long acting oral analgesic that suppresses opioid withdrawal and reduces cravings without inducing sedation or euphoria.  The Methadone Maintenance Therapy Program involves medical evaluation and ongoing assessment, a daily dispensing of methadone, random supervised urine samples, Methadone Support Groups and long term outpatient counselling.
