Methadone is a prescription drug which similar to heroin is a full opioid agonist, which means that the same nerve cell receptors are triggered when a person takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in facilities to help opiate dependent clients so that they don't feel the need to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't undergo the symptoms of opiate withdrawal. So rather than quitting cold turkey, clinics that treat methadone clients only are licensed to prescribe methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This method of treatment is known as methadone maintenance therapy.
Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not commonly geared to provide a broad spectrum of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some might offer individual and group counseling. Methadone use does have side effects, potentials for overdose and serious drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist. For this reason, it is also a drug that is abused by opiate addicts.
