Methadone is a prescription medication which similar to morphine or heroin is a full opioid agonist, meaning the same nerve cell receptors in the brain are triggered when someone takes methadone. But unlike heroin, methadone is regulated and used in programs to treat opiate dependent individuals so that they don't feel they have to get involved in illicit drug use activities, won't experience intense cravings, and won't feel the effects of withdrawal. So instead of quitting cold turkey, programs that treat methadone clients only are licensed to dispense methadone to these individuals on a daily basis. This type of treatment is known as methadone maintenance.
Facilities which treat methadone clients only are not usually set up to provide a wide range of comprehensive treatment services other than daily dosing, although some clinics might offer group and individual therapy and counseling. Methadone use is associated with side effects, potentials for overdose and drug interactions because it is a full opioid agonist similar to heroin. Consequently, it is also a drug that is abused and misused by opiate addicts.
