Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone program in or near Stevenson where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, because withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And considering methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a really bad flu which may include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the individual get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
