Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Bergholz where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication.

Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like 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.
