Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with 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 Avon where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on the drug for decades, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And because methadone can stay in the body for so long, users may not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which can include fever, chills, 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 detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some centers provide a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
