Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Mc Alpin where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks.
