Methadone Treatment
Opioid Addiction · First-Line Treatment

Methadone Treatment Program

Methadone is a long-acting opioid medication that prevents withdrawal symptoms and reduces cravings without causing euphoria. It has been the gold standard for opioid addiction treatment for decades. Methadone allows patients to stabilize their lives while gradually working toward recovery.

Best For:

Long-term, high-dose opioid users; strong physical dependence; those who cannot tolerate Suboxone®

Key Features:

Daily pharmacy dosing; progressive take-home doses; decades of proven effectiveness

Suboxone Treatment
Opioid Addiction · First-Line Treatment

Suboxone® Treatment Program

Suboxone® contains buprenorphine, a partial opioid agonist that is often preferred for its superior safety profile and faster dose stabilization. The "ceiling effect" makes it significantly safer from overdose, and many patients benefit from fewer side effects and greater flexibility in treatment.

Best For:

Patients wanting faster stabilization within a week; moderate opioid use disorder; safety-conscious patients

Key Features:

Ceiling effect for safety; earlier take-home access; fewer side effects for many patients

Kadian Treatment

Kadian® Treatment Program

Kadian® is a slow-release oral morphine formulation (SROM) designed specifically for treating severe opioid addiction. This specialized treatment is reserved for patients who have not responded adequately to first-line treatments like Suboxone® or methadone.

Best For:

Failed previous treatments; severe withdrawal persisting despite other medications; complex cases

Key Features:

Second-line treatment; stricter monitoring; prescribed only by experienced addiction physicians
