Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Sanford where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication.
