Colaizzi's method was applied for data analysis.Findings: The findings of this study included 27 codes categorized in four main groups: EXPERIENCES of structure, personnel, patients, and regulations. These four categories showed the main structure of EXPERIENCES in METHADONE centers.Conclusion: Lack of treatment centers in near-by cities or the problems of those centers suggest that it is necessary to establish new centers or solve the problems of centers in near-by cities. The type of patients referring to the centers plays a role in treatment process. The regular presence of physicians and other personnel and their concerns and care for patients as well as longer working hours of the centers have roles in patients' satisfaction and increase of consistency with treatment.
