Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near East Bethany where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication.
