Methadone is a medication utilized for the reduction of harm associated with opiate addiction. An Individual who wants to quit using heroin or prescription pain killers can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Stockton where they ingest it daily to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and in essence substitute their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance stay on the drug for many years, due to the fact that withdrawing off it can bring about 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 detoxing from it can be so harsh and last so long. And because methadone can stay in the body for such a long time, users may 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 and can include chills, fever, profuse sweating, nausea and vomiting, stomach cramping, muscle and bone aches and pain, acute insomnia, etc.
Methadone withdrawal 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.
