Methadone is a medication utilized for the treatment of opiate dependency and addiction. A person who wants to quit using prescription pain killers or heroin can get started on a methadone program in or near Hartford where they take it daily to avoid withdrawal, avoid cravings and essentially replace their addiction with a legal medication. Many individuals who start methadone maintenance stay on it for many years, considering withdrawing off it causes withdrawal symptoms far greater 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 for weeks. Additionally, considering 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 quit taking it. Methadone withdrawal is similar to that of other opiates, and are likened to a really bad flu and 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 professional detoxification facility that accepts methadone clients. Some facilities offer a medically managed detoxification while others help the client get off the drug without the use of controlled medications.
