Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near New Carlisle where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication.

Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks.
