Methadone is a drug utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Nikolski where they take it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who begin methadone treatment remain on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much 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 uncomfortable and last so long. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.
Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
