Methadone is a regulated drug which like morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same neurotransmitter receptors in the brain are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in facilities to treat opiate addicted individuals so that they don't feel they need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, programs which treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance.
Clinics which treat methadone clients only are not normally set up to provide a broad array of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might provide individual and group therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals.
