A person who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Jacks Creek where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal.
