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