Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Bellbrook where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time.
