Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Trumbull where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication.
