Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Anchorage where they ingest it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone maintenance remain on it for decades, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.
Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility that allow methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
