Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction. A person who wants to stop abusing prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Chula Vista where they take it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for many years, due to the fact that coming off it causes 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 detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. And considering methadone can stay in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin 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 severe flu which can include fever, chills, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some programs provide a medically managed detox while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
