Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Rush where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time.
