Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Doral where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication.

Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time.
