Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone program in or near East Wareham where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse 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 harsh and last so long. And considering 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 if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that accepts methadone clients. Some centers offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
