Methadone: A Proven Solution
Methadone has proven to be a game-changer in the treatment of opioid use disorder (OUD), significantly boosting success rates across multiple dimensions. As a long-acting opioid agonist, methadone effectively reduces cravings and withdrawal symptoms, helping patients break free from the cycle of illicit opioid use. This pharmacological action translates into impressive clinical outcomes, with methadone treatment associated with a 50% reduction in mortality risk and a fourfold increase in treatment retention compared to non-pharmacological approaches.
Beyond its direct impact on opioid use, methadone treatment yields a cascade of positive effects that contribute to overall recovery success. Patients on methadone show decreased rates of injection drug use, reduced HIV and hepatitis C transmission risks, and lower levels of criminal activity. Moreover, methadone therapy is linked to improved social functioning and quality of life, outperforming other FDA-approved medications for OUD in many studies. With its robust evidence base and long history of use, methadone stands as a cornerstone in the fight against the opioid epidemic, offering hope and tangible results for those struggling with OUD.

We’ve made it even easier to fit treatment into your daily life with our expanded dosing schedule. From Monday to Saturday, dosing will be available until noon, and patients can now take home their Sunday doses.
