Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Saragosa where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms far worse 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 detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And because methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe 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 that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medically managed detoxification while others help the person get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
