“Dolophine,” as Methadone is mainly sold commercially, is a synthetic opioid drug present in withdrawal treatments from opioids, primarily heroin. Like other opioid painkillers, it has the side effect of addiction when used frequently.
Methadone is a pain reliever like other opioid drugs (poppy plant derivatives), such as morphine, oxycodone, and codeine. For decades, it has been prescribed for people to deal with pain after chronic illnesses, injuries, or surgeries.
Since Methadone blocks the effects of other opioid drugs, it has become a most sought-after withdrawal management medication because it’s not as strong as heroin, albeit it tends to remain in the body system for more extended periods (roughly over twenty hours). It is also less sedating and less harmful.
