A person who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Alleyton where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time.
