Methadone is a regulated drug used in the reduction of harm associated with opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get enrolled into a methadone clinic in or near Venice where they ingest it on a daily basis to stop withdrawal symptoms, avoid cravings and basically replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who begin methadone maintenance stay on it for decades, because withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater than even heroin withdrawal. Methadone is a full opioid agonist, similar to heroin and morphine. However, it's effects last much longer which is why detoxing from it can be so harsh and last for weeks. Additionally, because methadone can remain in the body for such a long time, users may not even start feeling the effects of withdrawal for a day or two if they quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal resembles that of other opiates, and feels similar to a severe flu which can include chills, fever, nausea and vomiting, profuse sweating 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 accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medication assisted detox while others help the client withdrawal off the drug cold turkey without any medications.
