Methadone is a drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction and dependency. An Individual who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near La Puente where they take it on a daily basis to avoid withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and essentially substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone treatment stay on the drug for decades, because coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much worse than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And since methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which may 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 centers offer a medication assisted detoxification while others help the person withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
