Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Arion where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication.
