Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Boys Town where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance stay on the drug for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 harsh and last for weeks.
