Methadone is a valuable medication in managing opioid dependence and chronic pain, but it requires careful dosing, monitoring, and management due to its potential for addiction, respiratory depression, and cardiac effects. It should only be used under the supervision of healthcare professionals experienced in its administration and in the context of a comprehensive treatment plan.
Methadone is commonly used in opioid substitution therapy (OST), also known as medication-assisted treatment (MAT), for people addicted to opioids such as heroin or prescription painkillers (e.g., oxycodone).
