Someone who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Delmita where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance remain on the drug for decades, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal.
