Methadone Detoxification - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Eddyville, OR.

Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency.

Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time.
