Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. Someone who wants to quit abusing heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near El Monte where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for decades, because coming off it can produce withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two when they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone detoxification can be made much more comfortable in a detox facility which accepts methadone clients. Some programs offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
