An Individual who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Hermosa where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication.

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