The Methadone Maintenance Program was developed by Gordon Chase, health services administrator under Mayor John Lindsay. When Chase was appointed to this position in 1969, he had no direct responsibility for programs to combat heroin use. The unit then responsible for addicts was the Addiction Services Agency (ASA). Its approach was to encourage abstinence from heroin through supervised voluntary therapeutic communities operating under strict discipline. Another agency, the State Narcotics Addiction Control Commission, forcibly confined addicts in expensive treatment centers. There were also two private programs that tried to shift the addict’s craving from heroin to an inexpensive synthetic drug called methadone. One was located at the Beth Israel Hospital, the other at the Addiction Research and Treatment Corporation (ARTC).
