Methadone Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Rowland, NC.

Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Rowland where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication.
