Methadone is a drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Kingston where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal.
