Methadone is a medically supervised, synthetic opioid used to treat opioid addiction and manage chronic pain. As part of a comprehensive treatment plan, it helps individuals reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms, making it easier to transition away from more harmful substances like heroin or prescription painkillers. Methadone works by interacting with the same brain receptors as opioids, but in a controlled and less intense manner, minimizing the risk of misuse. Typically prescribed in the form of a liquid or tablet, methadone is an integral part of Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), a proven approach to supporting long-term recovery and improving overall well-being.
