Is there more than one type of liquid methadone

Posted by Hipmom

I attend a clinic in Maine and I was thinking of changing clinics. According to a patient that attends there I was told that the methadone (Liquid) at this particular clinic is a different type than what I take now. Is this true? Is there more than one type of liquid methadone or a generic version? Any help would be appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Jennifer

I am not as involved in methadone maintenance or detox levels of care as I am outpatient treatment and recovery, so I don't know that much about the different types of methadone. I do know that suboxone is becoming the 'preferred' drug, often replacing methadone to detox from opiates.
