CERTIFIED METHADONE ADVOCATE (CMA)

Methadone Advocacy

The National Alliance of Methadone Advocates (NAMA)
holds the view that every individual who believes in methadone treatment
is at least a potential Certified Methadone Advocate (CMA).


We encourage all supporters of methadone treatment, patient and non-patient, to become Certified
Methadone Advocates so that all energies directed toward the advancement
of methadone treatment produce positive results.


You do not have to be a patient to be a methadone advocate.


Fifteen Years ago when NAMA first started, methadone advocacy was a few committed
individuals who all knew one another. When on those rare occasions that
new advocate became active she or he was mentored by a more experienced
advocate.

A few mistakes were made but the same mistake was seldom made twice. The result
of a small tight knit group closely collaborating.

Methadone Advocacy is no longer a few committed individuals. Hundreds of people with
various degrees of skill and knowledge now call themselves Methadone
Advocates and hundreds more are interested in becoming a Certified
Methadone Advocate (CMA) if the training is made available.
