Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Ocala where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
