"Methadone maintenance" refers to a method of treating addiction to opioids, such as heroin or prescription painkillers. It involves replacing the drug of addiction with methadone, a safe and long-acting substitute. This helps manage withdrawal symptoms, reduces cravings, and allows individuals to stabilize their lives while working towards recovery.
