SouthLight provides much more than a methadone clinic. Our Opioid Treatment Program provides access to a full array of treatment options, from counseling to peer support

What’s a methadone clinic, and how do you know which one is the best fit for you or a loved one?

If you’re seeking treatment for heroin or other opioid use, a methadone clinic can be a great option. But it’s important to understand there are differences types of clinics, and why a full array of services beyond medication are so important.  

Often known as Medication Assisted Treatment, or MAT, methadone and other FDA approved medications like buprenorphine and suboxone are prescribed to help reduce cravings and prevent relapse without causing a high.
