Methadone maintenance is the most clinically effective and successful treatment for
individuals struggling with opioid dependency (Heroin, Vicodin, OxyContin, etc.). Each
program is medically supervised and provides individual & group counseling, psychosocial
education and relapse prevention planning, health assessments, vocational education, and
medical care.
The focus of our programs is for the individual to regain a stable life style through the
administration of methadone and use of our support services. Statistics show that positive
outcomes including improved physical and emotional health, higher rates of employment, and
cessation of criminal activity are achieved when an opiate dependent individual is stabilized
on methadone. These positive changes are beneficial to the patient, his or her family, and
the community.
If you or someone who know has been unsuccessful in achieving abstinence through in- or
out-patient detoxification from opioids, our Staten Island or Brooklyn programs may be the
right choice to assist in returning to a stable life. Please note that each program also
has the ability to slowly detox patients from opioids once a stabilizing dose level is
achieved should the individual so desire.
