Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency.

Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, considering coming off it can bring about 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 painful and last so long.
