Methadone is a medication used to help manage severe pain and treat addiction to opioids like heroin. It works by changing how the brain and nervous system respond to pain, providing relief and helping to reduce cravings and withdrawal symptoms for those struggling with opioid dependence.

Methadone is taken under a doctor's supervision, usually in tablet or liquid form, and can be a long-term treatment for chronic pain or addiction recovery. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage carefully to avoid any risks or side effects.
