 Methadone Maintenance: A Key Tool in Fighting the Fentanyl Crisis

As fentanyl devastates communities, especially in places like Kansas, ALT Recovery Group offers crucial support through methadone maintenance treatment (MMT). This form of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) is proven to help individuals manage opioid addiction, including fentanyl, by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms.

The Growing Fentanyl Crisis

The story of Griffin Tomassi, who survived a fentanyl overdose, highlights the need for treatment. Fentanyl, 50 times stronger than heroin, has caused a surge in overdose deaths, especially among young adults. With its high potency, methadone becomes essential in treating those affected.

How Methadone Works

Methadone stabilizes the body, reducing cravings without the "high." It is administered under professional supervision at ALT Recovery Group, where patients also receive counseling and support groups to address emotional challenges.
