Mission Statement
as NAMA.
Since its beginning over 25 years ago, methadone maintenance
has been the most popular treatment for narcotic addiction. Many times
over the years methadone treatment has been demonstrated to be the most
effective treatment for narcotic addiction, resulting in the termination
of heroin use and of criminal behavior. In spite of its success, methadone
maintenance is often disparaged as a”substitute drug” by those who ignore
the positive benefits that it has clearly brought to society. These attitudes
negatively impact on methadone maintenance programs in a variety of ways,
but it is the methadone patients themselves who are particularly stigmatized
and harmed. This atmosphere will not change as long as there is no organization
or formal mechanism for methadone patients to voice their own needs and
to form a strong, unified public presence on their own behalf.
WI NAMA is the official NAMA affiliate for the state of
Wisconson and will actively respond to the issues that affect the daily
lives of methadone patients in Wisconsin and nationally and work towards
the day when all methadone patients can take pride in their accomplishments.
