Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Jolley where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication.
