People in the methadone program function normally. They are not high or sick. They take care of responsibilities like going to work without anyone knowing they are taking methadone. Your privacy is also protected by HIPAA. We aren’t able to confirm or deny if a specific person is a patient and, of course, give no details of medications or treatment progress. That said, there’s no shame in having the disease of addiction, and it’s a great thing that you’re seeking treatment!
