All 63 people at the Gorbals scheme are fighting to stay clean with the help of counsellors and their own specially-devised rehab plan which can include sport and music.
Service manager Sophia Young said: "Methadone is a vital landing place for people who have led chaotic lives for a long time. For them, methadone treatment is a real option, a way of bringing stability back into their lives.
"Methadone helps but it doesn't cure.
"As a society we are now having to look at how we get people completely drug-free.
"The people who come here are not at the crisis stage. They are people who have stabilised and they have come to address their addictions."
