Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near La Crosse where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal.
