What do Methadone Clinics do?
Methadone clinics are certified outpatient facilities that provide medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for people with opioid use disorder (OUD). In addition to dispensing methadone under medical supervision, clinics offer counseling and other support services to promote long-term recovery.
Clinics combine the use of methadone with behavioral therapy to provide a comprehensive and medically supervised path to recovery.
Initial assessment
- During the initial visit, a comprehensive clinical evaluation is conducted to create an individualized treatment plan tailored to the patient’s specific needs.
- The patient’s medical and substance use history is reviewed, and an appropriate starting dose of methadone is determined.
- The first doses are given under supervision to monitor for side effects and effectiveness.
Medication administration
- Methadone is a long-acting opioid agonist that helps reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms associated with opioids like heroin and prescription painkillers.
- Because methadone has addictive properties, its distribution is heavily regulated.
- Patients typically need to visit the clinic daily to receive their dose, which a medical professional administers.
- For patients who demonstrate stability and compliance over time, take-home doses may be granted.
Counseling and support services
Beyond medication, methadone clinics provide vital supportive therapies:
Behavioral counseling: Therapy sessions address the psychological aspects of addiction and help patients develop coping skills.
Case management: Case managers help patients connect with community resources, including housing assistance, job training, and educational programs.
Drug testing: Regular drug screenings are conducted to ensure compliance and monitor for the use of other substances that could be dangerous in combination with methadone.
Treatment for co-occurring disorders: Many people with OUD also have mental health conditions like anxiety or depression. Clinics provide assessment and treatment for these co-occurring disorders.
Benefits of methadone treatment
Methadone treatment has been proven effective for those with moderate to severe opioid use disorder and provides several benefits.
Decreases criminal activity: Studies have found that methadone treatment can reduce criminal behavior associated with funding a drug habit.
Reduces withdrawal and cravings: It helps manage the physical and mental effects of withdrawal, making it easier for patients to focus on recovery.
Lowers risk of overdose: Methadone maintenance is associated with a lower risk of overdose and death compared to unmanaged opioid use.
Improves stability: By mitigating withdrawal and cravings, it helps patients rebuild their lives and increase their employment rates.
