Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Franktown where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far 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 the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long.
