Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to stop using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Bessemer where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for many years, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so harsh and last such a long time. Additionally, since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility which accepts patients withdrawing from the drug. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
