Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Tate where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication.

Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last so long.
