Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Boiling Springs where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. 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 painful and last such a long time.
