Methadone is a drug used in 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 Glenview where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last so long. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detox while others help the person detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
