Methadone is a medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Chicopee where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone treatment stay on it for decades, considering coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. Additionally, because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility which allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
