Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Mitchell where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on the drug for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks.
