Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. Someone who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Orla where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time.
