Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near La Grange where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about 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 such a long time.
