Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Lima where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks.
