Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near La Fargeville where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much 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 the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks.
