We Are.

Even forty years after it's conception as part of addiction treatment, methadone maintenance treatment continues to be one the most highly stigmatized and misunderstood forms of addiction treatment. Although its success rate far surpasses that of any other addiction treatment or detox and it is considered to be the "gold-standard" of opiate addiction treatment by the United States Government, it continues to face prejudice by members of the same communities that it helps to mold, as well as bias from uneducated health professionals and an alarming trend of inaccurate reports by the media. We are here to show that methadone maintenance works. We are here to show that we are deserving members of this society...we are, among many other things, your teachers, bankers, entertainers, executives, and good parents raising responsible, healthy children...and we are methadone maintenance treatment.
