An Individual who wants to stop taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near St. Bonifacius where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment remain on the drug for many years, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may 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 that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
