Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Beaver Dams where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication.
