If you're feeling unsure about how methadone fits into rehab, you're not alone. Whether you're prescribed methadone or struggling with its long-term effects, we’ll help you navigate what’s next. Many clients worry they won’t be accepted into rehab while using methadone, but our team understands the full picture of opioid dependence and recovery.
We offer compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to your history of methadone use. Our programs support clients through detox, stabilisation, or tapering, depending on your goals and medical needs. You're welcome here, wherever you are in your journey.
Our methadone rehab program combines medical support, lived experience, and proven therapeutic approaches to help you feel safe, informed, and in control.
Methadone is one of the most common pharmacotherapy drugs used to help people recover from heroin addiction, but it can come with its own risks. If you’re unsure whether methadone has become a problem for you, or someone you care about, this section can help you understand what addiction looks like, how to recognise the signs, and what kind of treatment can offer a safer, healthier path forward.
Methadone is a long-acting opioid that’s commonly prescribed as part of a treatment plan for opioid dependence. But over time, even when used under supervision, some people find themselves relying on it just to feel normal. If you’re using methadone more often than prescribed, feeling anxious without it, or using it to avoid emotions, it could be a sign of dependency. Addiction isn’t about willpower. It’s about support.
If you’re starting to wonder whether methadone has become a problem, it’s important to look at how it’s affecting your life, not just your dose. You might feel anxious or sick when you miss a dose. You might start isolating, losing interest in work, family, or things you once enjoyed. Cravings, withdrawal symptoms, and secrecy around use can all be signs that you’re no longer in control.
If you’ve been on methadone for a long time, you might start to notice more than just physical effects. Chronic use can affect sleep, concentration, and even your hormones. You might feel numb, low in energy, or emotionally distant even when you’re not using anything else. These effects are often slow to build, but they’re real and treatable with the right support.
You don’t need to do this alone. Recovery starts with a personalised treatment plan that meets your needs. This might include a supervised medical detox, therapy to explore why methadone became your coping strategy, and ongoing care to keep you on track. Treatment can also include transitioning to other therapies, or even managed tapering if methadone is still needed for pain.
Recovery is different for everyone, but it always starts with hope. Whether you’re dealing with methadone alone or other substances too, a comprehensive treatment plan will support you through detox, therapy, and the weeks and months after rehab. With time and the right team behind you, it’s possible to rebuild your confidence, relationships, and future.

புரிந்துகொள்ளும் ஒருவரிடம் பேசுங்கள்.
Yes, some rehab programs are specifically designed to support patients who are continuing methadone treatment. This is especially true for individuals transitioning from a methadone clinic into a more structured setting. At our rehab in Melbourne, we offer programs that accept and support methadone maintenance treatment as part of a broader treatment plan.
Whether you’re beginning a new methadone program or continuing a current one, our team of experienced counsellors can help develop an addiction rehab plan that includes medical oversight, behavioural therapy, and relapse prevention strategies. Rehab can help you build new skills and confidence while still supporting your physical stability.
Stopping methadone abruptly can be dangerous, especially if you’ve been using it long term. The safest way to stop is through a medically supervised methadone detox, where your dosage is gradually reduced under clinical care. This helps manage the treatment of opioid withdrawal and reduce the risk of complications.
Inpatient treatment facilities provide a safe, structured environment for people struggling with a methadone addiction. At The Hader Clinic, we combine detox with ongoing support and treatment, including one-on-one counselling, group therapy, and aftercare planning to ensure long-term stability. For those also using opioids, our prescription drug rehab program offers additional specialised care.
Methadone for pain can be effective, but it must be used with caution. Because methadone is a long-acting synthetic opioid, it builds up in the body over time, which increases the potential for overdose, especially when taken with other depressants. It also has unpredictable effects between patients.
The side effects of methadone include drowsiness, constipation, heart rhythm changes, and potential respiratory depression. If you're using methadone to manage chronic pain and notice any concerning symptoms, or feel you're developing dependency, please call us. Our private methadone rehab team can help you explore safer, more sustainable alternatives.
Yes. Chronic drug abuse involving methadone can lead to serious health issues and psychological effects. Long-term use may cause hormonal changes, sexual dysfunction, memory issues, and increased sensitivity to pain. The side effects of methadone also include sleep disturbances, weight gain, and depression.
When methadone is used outside of a structured methadone maintenance treatment program, it can increase the risk of overdose and complicate the treatment of opioid dependence. Rehab provides a safe space to manage withdrawal, address underlying trauma, and rebuild your wellbeing with professional support. If your use has included other opioids, such as heroin, you may also benefit from our heroin rehab program.
Methadone clinics play a vital role in stabilising patients, but they often don’t provide the full range of psychological and behavioural care needed for long-term recovery. A methadone program alone may not address trauma, triggers, or lifestyle changes needed to overcome addiction.
That’s where a comprehensive addiction rehab program becomes essential. At The Hader Clinic, we integrate medical support, therapy, relapse prevention, and aftercare in a way methadone clinics often cannot. For many, the combination of clinic stabilisation and inpatient treatment is the most effective path to recovery.
Relapse can be a normal part of the recovery process, especially for people managing opioid dependence. If you relapse while receiving methadone treatment, it doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It’s a signal that you may need additional support and treatment.
We encourage you to call us so we can reassess your treatment plan and help you stabilise. Our team understands the signs of methadone misuse and provides compassionate, evidence-based care. Whether it means adjusting your methadone dosage, adding therapy, or transitioning into inpatient treatment, we’re here to support your recovery. If your relapse involved stimulants such as methamphetamine, our ice rehab services may be appropriate to explore as well.
Yes. Detoxing from methadone at home is not recommended due to the high risk of complications. Methadone withdrawal symptoms can be intense, prolonged, and include nausea, insomnia, severe anxiety, and cravings that increase the likelihood of relapse or overdose.
A medically supervised methadone detox in an inpatient treatment facility is the safest approach. It ensures your comfort and safety while laying the groundwork for effective addiction rehab. Our rehab Melbourne team provides round-the-clock care, structured therapy, and planning for long-term support beyond detox. We also support clients with co-occurring substance use, including those who have been using prescription opioids.
