Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Glen Aubrey where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication.
