Methadone is a prescription medication used in the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near North Hollywood where they ingest it daily to avoid withdrawal symptoms, stave off cravings and in essence replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance treatment stay on it for decades, due to the fact that coming off it can bring about withdrawal symptoms much greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, just like heroin. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so uncomfortable and last such a long time. And considering methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users usually will not even begin feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it cold turkey. Methadone withdrawal is like that of other opiates, and are likened to a severe flu and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, muscle and bone aches and pain, stomach cramping, extreme insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal can be made much more comfortable in a professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities provide a medication assisted detox while others help the client detox from the drug without the use of controlled medications.
