An Individual who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near North Las Vegas where they take it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication.

Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.
