Have you been using an opioid drugs such as heroin, OxyContin, codeine, Dilaudid, Percocet and others, and you’ve come to a point where you know you can’t go on using, but you can’t seem to stop either, methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) may be right for you. Are you pregnant and you’re using heroin????? Seek MMT right away. Methadone prevents opioid withdrawal, which can threaten the life of your baby.

Are you a user who is HIV or hepatitis C positive?????? You are strongly urged to begin methadone treatment immediately. MMT helps to stabilize your health, and it lets you focus on getting the best possible care.

Have you been using for a year or more, and you’ve tried to stop but can't ??????

Have you been through withdrawal many times?????

<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">Have you seen a counsellor, perhaps you’ve gone through a residential treatment program and still using opioid drugs??????

<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">If you can’t seem to stop using for more than a few hours, days, weeks or months at a time, and you know you want to stop, think about going on MMT.

<span style="display: block; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 120%; text-align: center;">You know you are ready for MMT when you’re still using and all it’s doing for you is keeping you “normal.” If there’s any high at all, it isn’t worth it anymore. You’re scared of being sick and all you want is to feel well and be free of the craving that nags you to keep on using. You want to be more in control of your life, your work and your home. You want to feel better about yourself; you want to be able to offer more to the people you care about.
