An Individual who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Berlin where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance remain on it for many years, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much 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 harsh and last such a long time. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey.
