An Individual who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Springboro where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, because withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long.
