Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Nora Springs where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time.
