An Individual who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near West Hamlin where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment remain on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time.
