Methadone For Addiction Treatment

Methadone is a synthetic narcotic medication, or an opioid analgesic. It works by producing a gradual onset of opioid-like euphoric effects, reducing the opportunity for an individual to feel “high.”

Individuals with severe opioid dependencies can undergo methadone maintenance treatment to manage withdrawal symptoms and taper off use of methadone.

The goal of methadone treatment is, with time, to both quit use of opioid drugs and eventually quit use of methadone.

How Methadone Works

Methadone is an opioid, so it changes the way the body responds to pain. In the case of methadone treatment, methadone lessens painful withdrawal symptoms and blocks euphoric effects of opioid drugs.

At the same time, methadone produces euphoric effects of its own at a lesser rate than more addictive drugs, like heroin.

Methadone is used both during detoxification (process of ridding the body of substances) and treatment.

Used for long-term maintenance, methadone is taken once per day. Because methadone must be highly regulated, it is administered in clinics to avoid misuse.

By law, methadone must be administered in a clinical or medical setting.

Medication-Assisted Treatment

Methadone is part of a larger treatment method, called medication-assisted treatment, which combines medication for symptom management and therapy and counseling.

Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) programs are one of the most highly effective forms of addiction treatment available.

Usually available in an inpatient setting, MAT programs help individuals manage ongoing withdrawal symptoms, such as cravings, while progressing toward recovery.

Other medications used in medication-assisted treatment include naltrexone (Vivitrol) and buprenorphine (Bunavail, Suboxone, Zubsolv).
