Methadone is a medication used to help people reduce or quit their use of heroin or other opiates.


Methadone has been used for decades to treat people who are addicted to heroin and narcotic pain medicines. When taken as prescribed, it is safe and effective. It allows people to recover from their addiction and to reclaim active and meaningful lives. For optimal results, patients should also participate in a comprehensive medication-assisted treatment program that includes counseling and social support.


Methadone works by changing how the brain and nervous system respond to pain. It lessens the painful symptoms of opiate withdrawal and blocks the euphoric effects of opiate drugs such as heroin, morphine, and codeine, as well as semi-synthetic opioids like oxycodone and hydrocodone. Goals of therapy are to prevent abstinence syndrome, reduce narcotic cravings and block the euphoric effects of illicit opioid use

Opiate dependent patients group tends to be poorly understood and underserved. Methadone maintenance therapy is the most widely known and wellresearched treatment for opioid dependency. Goals of therapy are to prevent abstinence syndrome, reduce narcotic cravings and block the euphoric effects of illicit opioid use. In the first phase of methadone treatment, appropriately selected patients are tapered to adequate steady-state dosing. Once they are stabilized on a satisfactory dosage, it is often possible to address their other chronic medical and psychiatric conditions. The maintenance phase can be used as a long/short term therapy until the patient demonstrates the qualities required for successful detoxification. Patients who abuse narcotics have an increased risk for human immunodeficiency virus infection, hepatitis, tuberculosis, over dosing and other conditions contributing to increased morbidity and mortality.

CHAMP's service stance is harm reduction, with the eventual goal of abstinence from the use of heroin or other opiates.

When patients consent to treatment they will first come to CHAMP clinic daily for their methadone dose. In time they can earn take-home doses.

To enhance the scope of addictions treatment and the recovery continuum. CHAMP Clinic case managers adopt both scheduled and open door policy. Opiate dependent patients can see their case managers as scheduled and as needed to address the patients concerns.

CHAMP clinics accepts various payer sources including private insurance sponsoring substance abuse treatment centers outpatient rehabilitation, private pay and various charitable organizations sponsoring the treatment.
