Understanding Methadone as an Opioid Addiction Treatment Option

Medications for opioid use disorder, or MOUD, can be highly effective in the addiction recovery process. Three medications have been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for opioid addiction treatment: Suboxone (buprenorphine and naloxone), Vivitrol (naltrexone), and methadone. Methadone can be useful in both the detox and maintenance phases of treatment.

AdCare Rhode Island’s enhanced methadone program varies from a methadone clinic in that it combines other modalities in a supervised treatment environment, whereas methadone clinics dispense medications for opioid use disorder.

How Methadone Is Prescribed and Monitored

Methadone is prescribed and monitored by your doctor or clinician. A patient’s treatment plan will be discussed upon admission into an opioid use disorder treatment program, and this may involve medications.

There are options when it comes to medications for OUD, and the benefits and risks of these medications will be reviewed and discussed with the healthcare provider. A patient’s medication protocols will vary based on the type and length of the treatment program, among other factors.

Patients are monitored throughout the course of treatment and any changes in medications and dosing will be revised as needed. Methadone treatment may begin in inpatient care and transition to outpatient care, or may involve daily methadone doses from a methadone clinic, or take-home doses.

What to Look for in a Methadone Program Near You

If you are looking for a methadone program, there are several characteristics you may want to consider, such as patient/alumni reviews, accreditations, licensing, and certifications. You may also look into the types of therapeutic interventions that are offered in conjunction with methadone, e.g., support groups, individual therapy, family/marital counseling, etc.

Our licensed methadone program near Massachusetts provides customized, evidence-based treatment. Our caring team wants to make sure that patients are equipped with the skills and strategies necessary for a successful recovery.

Patients at AdCare Rhode Island may participate in various therapeutic and recreational activities:

Switching from Methadone to Another Medication

Switching from methadone to another treatment medication, such as Suboxone or Vivitrol, may be an option for certain patients. This transition would need to be managed by your physician.

There are several reasons why a patient may be interested in undergoing medical detox for methadone and switching to another medication. One such reason may be that methadone needs to be taken daily and is administered at treatment facilities and methadone clinics. There is often no take-home option (especially at the beginning of a patient’s treatment plan) and this schedule may not be conducive to a patient’s lifestyle or goals.

If you are currently enrolled in a methadone maintenance program through a certified opioid treatment program (OTP), our drug and alcohol rehab in New England provides the option of rapidly detoxing and transitioning to either Suboxone or Vivitrol over a 4-week period.
