Definición

  • Methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) has been the primary form of treatment for heroin addiction for many years and has been recognized as the most effective treatment for this condition by the Institute of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health. As a treatment for opioid dependence, MMT involves the daily administration of the oral opioid agonist methadone, a long-acting, orally administered drug, to replace the shorter acting heroin that is usually injected.
