What is "methadone"?
Methadone is an artificial medication mainly used to treat opioid addiction and manage intense pain. It works by attaching to specific receptors in the brain, providing relief from withdrawal symptoms and reducing cravings for other opioids like heroin or morphine. Methadone is typically taken orally in liquid or tablet form and is used under medical supervision in specialized clinics. When used as prescribed, methadone helps individuals with opioid use disorder, allowing them to function normally without experiencing difficulties or feelings of extreme joy or excitement. However, misuse or unauthorized use of methadone can lead to serious health risks, including overdose and respiratory issues.
