The Center For Change offers treatment for people in the Wichita and surrounding area since June 2008. This includes narcotic addiction using MMT. 

Of all Treatment modalities for heroin addiction or dependence; Methadone is the most effective treatment . When compared to the three other major drug treatment modalities which are: drug free outpatient treatment, therapeutic communities, and chemical dependency treatment  methadone is the most intensively studied and yields the best results. In fact studies have found that at three months use of heroin drops to less than 10%, and even after two or more years usage drops to less than 15%.

All legitimate MMT programs mandate that patients be screened for broad spectrum substances of abuse and agree to rapid response "pill counts", or "oral suspension methadone" counts on a short notice, at random intervals. Also legitimate MMT programs require patients be screened and treated for underlying mental illness and participate in treatment of the same if any exist. All MMT patients attend regular addictions counseling throughout treatment. in fact less than 10% of the cost of MMT actually goes toward the purchase of Methadone. Also other co morbid addictions such as Alcohol and Cocaine sharply decline with MMT. 

Finally MMT is strongly endorsed (encouraged) by the United States Government (The Presidents Office of National Drug Control Policy) see link below.
