Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Spiceland where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time.
