Methadone is a drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Dufur where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication.

Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks.
