Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Rexford where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, because coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey.
