Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when someone ingests methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is used in programs to help opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to become involved in illicit drug use activities, won't crave illicit opiates, and won't feel the effects of opiate withdrawal. So alternatively to quitting cold turkey, facilities which treat methadone clients only are authorized to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is called methadone maintenance therapy.
Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually geared to offer a broad array of extensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some may offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug which is abused by opioid dependent individuals.
