Preferred term

methadone maintenance  

Definition

  • a program for those addicted to heroin that permits them to take the drug methadone under a physician's care to eliminate the severe withdrawal symptoms associated with withdrawal from heroin. Some critics object to such programs because they in essence substitute one drug, albeit a legal one, for another. [Source: The Concise Dictionary of Crime and Justice; Methadone Maintenance]
