Stimulant maintenance is the medical practice of prescribing stimulant drugs such as cocaine or amphetamines to people who are dependent on these drugs. Supporters of stimulant maintenance believe that prescription offers legal alternatives to people who would otherwise be purchasing impure drugs in unknown quantities, unnecessarily risking their health and supporting an illegal market that fuels organized crime.
