Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Onancock where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication.

Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time.
