Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Spring Valley Village where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication.

Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last such a long time.
