Methadone is a synthetic drug that is legal, inexpensive, does not damage body organs or tissues and, when prescribed and taken appropriately, does not create a euphoric high. Its rehabilitating effects include:

Relief from sickness resulting from withdrawal
Reduction of craving for opiates
Allows the time needed for other treatment methods to become effective
Eliminates the physical reasons for continued use of illegal drugs
