Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near Cuney where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much 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 for weeks.
