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

Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long.
