One of methadone’s most common uses is in helping people with opioid addictions to gradually detox and recover with the goal of ultimately ending their addiction and drug use entirely. What is methadone and why do we use it to treat opioid addiction? Methadone is a synthetic opioid medication. Like other opioids including morphine and buprenorphine, methadone affects how your body responds to withdrawal symptoms. However, it has a slower-acting and longer-lasting affect that makes it safer, longer-lasting, and ideal for long-term supervised use.
