Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same neural receptors are activated when someone uses methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate addicted clients so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics which treat methadone clients only are licensed to administer methadone to these clients daily. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.
Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually designed to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive rehabilitation services other than daily dosing, although some might deliver individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions due to the fact that it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused and misused by opiate addicts.
