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