Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Trinity Center where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication.

Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.
