Someone who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Sanostee where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication.

Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time.
