Methadone is a regulated drug utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. A person who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone clinic in or near Chico where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance stay on the drug for many years, considering coming off it causes withdrawal symptoms far worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so painful and last such a long time. And since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users may not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar 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 much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detox while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
