Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Nazareth where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication.
