federally regulated opioid treatment programs (OTP). Methadone clinics
incorporate psychosocial interventions and require daily attendance for
the first several months, so this is a good option for a client that has the
flexibility to attend daily meetings. Use of methadone in MAT
for opioid use disorder helps extend client survival. When patients stop
methadone, they have a high likelihood of relapsing, even 10 years after
starting treatment.
