Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Camden where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks.
