Methadone is a medication used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near New Midway where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication.
