Methadone is a prescription medication used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Westborough where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. And since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.
Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medically managed detox while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
