Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Bronson where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication.
