Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Facilities - Roaring Gap, NC.

Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Roaring Gap where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication.
