Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit taking heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Elizabeth where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 uncomfortable and last for weeks. And 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 quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, 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 facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
