Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Columbia where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time.
