About
Methadone is a medication that is commonly used to treat opioid addiction and chronic pain. It is a long-acting opioid agonist that works by binding to the same receptors in the brain as other opioids, but with a longer duration of action. This means that it can help people who are addicted to opioids by reducing cravings and withdrawal symptoms, while also providing relief from chronic pain.
