Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Westside where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long.
