Are payments made to a methodone clinic considered medical expenses

[KatrinaB]

Yes. If you itemize your deductions then you can include amounts you pay for an inpatient's treatment at a therapeutic center for drug addiction. This includes meals and lodging at the center during treatment. You can also include the cost of prescription medications. However, make sure to include out-of-pocket expenses only.
