San Francisco Drug Treatment

Methadone maintenance is a therapy option that is prescribed by a doctor to help someone overcome a heroin addiction. It's one of the oldest forms of treatment for heroin withdrawal, which can be one of the severest withdrawals of any of the major drugs. It can also be used to help people addicted to other opiates recover. Methadone is taken as a medication to slowly wean the user off of heroin. In recent years other drugs such as buprenorphine have also began to be employed to fight withdrawal symptoms. However, methadone still remains one of the most used and most effective forms of treatment around. Listed below are the facilities in the greater San Francisco area that offer methadone as a part of their treatment program.
