Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to stop taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Fall River where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and can include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client detox from the drug cold turkey without any medications.
