Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Huntsville where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, stave off cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many people who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for many years, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, acute insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
