What is Methadone?Methadone is a medication used to treat Opioid Use Disorder (OUD). Methadone is a long-acting full opioid agonist, and a schedule II controlled medication. Methadone used to treat those with a confirmed diagnosis of opioid use disorder (OUD) can only be dispensed through a SAMHSA certified OTP.
Methadone is a medication approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to treat OUD as well as for pain management. When taken as prescribed, methadone is safe and effective. Methadone helps individuals achieve and sustain recovery and to reclaim active and meaningful lives. Methadone is one component of a comprehensive treatment plan, which includes counseling and other behavioral health therapies to provide patients with a whole-person approach. Under federal law 42 CFR 8.12, patients receiving treatment in Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs) must be able to receive counseling through the OTP, along with medical, vocational, educational, and other assessment and treatment services.
