Describe what methadone is and how it must be given to addicts

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Methadone, a Schedule II drug, is a narcotic agonist drug that does not produce the degree of euphoria of other narcotic drugs, but because it has no antagonist effect, it cannot be given in an unsupervised environment, and so recovering addicts must go to a clinic to obtain a daily dose of methadone.
