Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Teller where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment remain on it for many years, considering coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last so long. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu and may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.
