Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Kaysville where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, due to the fact that coming off it causes 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 harsh and last so long.
