Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Ayrshire, IA.

Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Ayrshire where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication.
