Methadone is a prescription medication utilized for the treatment of opiate addiction. Someone who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Lancaster where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance treatment remain on it for decades, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin and morphine. However, it remains in the body longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last so long. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even start experiencing withdrawal for a day or two if they stop taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu which 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 more comfortable and manageable in a detox facility which allow methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the individual withdrawal off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
