MMT Take-Home Policies and Patients (New Aced It Episode)
In this episode, we dive into the complexities of methadone maintenance treatment (MMT), an intervention that has proven effective in reducing risks of overdose, legal system involvement, and drug-use-related illnesses. Although MMT has shown benefits for people who use drugs, it delivers low uptake and retention rates. Listen to this episode to learn more about recent illuminating research and recommendations for making MMT more patient friendly, improving transparency, and aligning it with other treatments.
