What Is Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD)?
Medication for Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) is an evidence-based approach that combines medication with counseling and behavioral therapies. MOUD is considered the gold standard of care for opioid addiction because it:
- Reduces the risk of relapse and overdose
- Stabilizes brain chemistry
- Helps individuals stay engaged in treatment
- Improves overall quality of life
At Greylock Recovery, methadone is one of the MOUD options available to help people safely and effectively overcome opioid use disorder.
What Is Methadone?
Methadone is a long-acting medicine that’s been safely used for many years to treat opioid addiction. It helps by:
- Easing withdrawal symptoms that can make it difficult to stop using opioids
- Reducing cravings so you can focus on recovery without constant urges
- Blocking the effects of other opioids, lowering the risk of relapse
Unlike short-acting opioids, methadone provides a steady, controlled effect, which helps people return to stability and daily life.

Methadone vs. Other MOUD Options
Every recovery journey is unique. At Greylock Recovery, we help you explore all your options so you can find the treatment that feels right for you. Methadone is one of several FDA-approved medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD). Here’s how it compares:
Medication | How It Works | Best For | Benefits | Things to Know |
Methadone | Full opioid agonist | Severe or long-term opioid use disorder | Reduces cravings, eases withdrawal, blocks other opioids | Must be taken under supervision; long history of safe use |
Suboxone (Buprenorphine/Naloxone) | Partial opioid agonist | Moderate to severe opioid use disorder | Lower risk of misuse, flexible treatment settings | May cause mild withdrawal if opioids are still in your system |
Vivitrol (Naltrexone) | Opioid antagonist | People who have fully detoxed | Non-addictive, blocks opioids completely | Requires detox before use; monthly injection |
Why This Matters
Some people benefit most from methadone’s long-acting stability. Others may prefer Suboxone’s flexibility or Vivitrol’s non-opioid approach. At Greylock Recovery, our medical team works with you to determine which MOUD option aligns with your health, goals, and lifestyle.
