Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Mulvane where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication.

Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time.
