Methadone is a regulated drug used in the treatment of opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit taking prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Fairfield where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal, avoid cravings and basically 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, just like heroin. However, it remains in the body longer which is why the withdrawal from it can be so painful and last for weeks. Additionally, since methadone can remain in the body for so long, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu and may include fever, chills, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone detoxification can be made more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility that allow patients withdrawing from the drug. Some centers offer a medically managed detox while others help the client get off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
