Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Hadlyme where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for many years, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far 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 uncomfortable and last such a long time. And since methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it.
